Programming Functions
General Function Parameters and Buttons
The following function definitions apply to 2D path, 3D path, Arc, Circle, and Area tools.
Current Position – If there is communication with the controller, the current position is
shown in the text box. Use the teach pendant on the workcell to change the position.
Input Coordinates –Enter the target position manually.
Dispensing Parameters – Select parameters for the current dispense and the active tool.
Tool On Wait – The pause after the tool is turned on before the dispense path starts.
Tool Off Wait – The pause after the path is finished and the tool is off, but before the tool
moves to the next point.
Tool On Distance – The distance of the path traveled before the tool turns on.
Tool Off Distance – The distance of the path traveled when the tool is turned off, but
before the path is finished.
Z Retract (Relative) – Distance to raise the Z-axis after certain moves are completed.
Teach – Records the current point.
Surface- Drop down menu to select the end-effector height. Menu options depend on the
function.
• Gantry (Raw) uses the Z coordinate exactly as it was taught.
• Gantry (Relative) uses the Z coordinate that was taught and subtracts the “Relative
Height” numeric field’s current value.
• Calibrated Z uses the Run Tool Reference Z for the current run tool and subtracts
the global “
Relative Height” set for that tool in Tool Configuration.
• Use Last uses the Z height of the previous Surface used in the Polyline.
• Custom Surface uses the XY coordinates of the Surface command that shares the
same name and uses the Z height and the current run tool’s “
Calibrated Z” to set the
dispense Z height.
Use Current Z Height – This will teach all coordinates at the current end-effector height.
Use Calibrated Z Height – This will teach all coordinates at the end-effector height taught
during teaching offsets. The final calibrated height is the tool offset Z Height minus the
“Relative Height” parameter set for the tool in Tool Configuration.
Done – Adds all edits to the program.
Cancel – Exit without changes to the program.

NOTE: Playback can only operate if the workcell is in Manual mode.
NOTE: When teaching a position on a 4-axis machine the last coordinate in the list (0.000,
0.000, 0.000, 0) is the theta value. Theta is measured in encoder counts and is always a
whole number.
NOTE: Teach tool selections only apply when the teach tool is used.
Add Comment
1. Select the add comments icon from the tool bars.
2. Add a comment to each path program so anyone who views the path program can
understand the program. All comments are removed from the program on
compilation and do not use any controller memory.

DMC
With this function the user can enter DMC code into the program. Only users who
understand the DMC language should use this.
