1.5.3Assigning a Point Name
When entering positional data for a point, you have to assign a name to that point. This name will be used later in the program when telling the robot where to go.
Point names generally have a format like that shown in the example below:
PNT100
PNT100 is the point name (in this example).
The point name may have up to ten characters.
The following characters may be used in the point name. (The first letter of a point name must be an alphabetic character.)
| Alphabetic characters: | A to Z |
| Numerals: | 0 to 9 |
Note: | You may not use an identifier reserved for the SCOL language to name a point. | |
| See Appendix B of Robot Language Manual for a list of such identifiers | |
| (reserved words). |
|
If you try to enter more than ten characters when inputting a point name, an error message ("name over") will be displayed and that entry will be invalidated.
If you try to enter anything other than an alphabetic character for the first character of the point name, an error message ("illegal key!") will be displayed and that entry will be invalidated.
If you try to enter anything other than an alphanumeric character when inputting the point name, an error message ("illegal key!") will be displayed and that entry will be invalidated.
