Variable Manager Control
The Variable Manager control allows you to view, search, and modify variables that are in memory. By
default, the Variable Manager monitors and displays GLOBAL variables, however you can add
monitoring of AUTO and Local variable for specific tasks and programs.
From the Variable Manager you can:
• Drag a variable into a program in the Program Editor.
• Select any variable and modify its value.
• For location type variables, you can either manually enter a new value or record the current
position of the robot.
• Create and remove variables.
• Monitor variables in tasks.
To open the Variable Manager control:
1. From the menu, select View > System Resources > Variable Manager.
2. Alternatively, click the Variable Manager icon in the Adept DeskTop toolbar.
3. The control window opens, similar to Figure 38 .
