Feature: Select and Run Offline Programs on the Robot Arm #3
Description
The Meca500 robot arm utilized in this system is capable of storing 500 offline programs, all of which are accessible and modifiable through the Mecaportal service. These programs are incredibly useful for rapid prototyping and for defining various routines and sub-routines. A preliminary feature has been built to run a given offline program within the automation scripts. However, the user has no means of selecting a given offline program and running it using the active GUI.
The focus of this task is to build a dropdown selection to select and run available offline programs on the robot arm. This requires the use of concurrency tools to retrieve data from the model, specifically the available offline programs on the robot, for selection in the GUI. The features to run a given offline program have already been developed.
