If in a macro I write $ASCII_SAVE = 1 ; and I excute the macro, will then the next time I do a backup 'All of above' or I save the TP-programms, will the TP-files then be saved as LS-files?
If I execute a macro with $ASCII_SAVE = 0 ; will the TP programms then be saved again as TP when doïng all above of saving TP-programms?
Is this correct?
At least in my simulation in Roboguide, it does not seem to work.

Why use ASCII macro, when you can save programs directly from the panel to .LS format.
-
With the backup you showed in the picture, are only the files backuped that can be converted to .LS format?
If I want to do an 'All of above' backup (where everything is included), and I want the 'readable files' as .LS, is the macro then the right solution?
If I have an 'All of above' backup where the 'readable files' are .LS, can this be put back to the controller, of for this need the 'readable files' be in .TP format? -
If you really want write all programs in ls mode You need this option for robot. 1A05B-2500-R507 ! Ascii Upload
With this option, you can write all the programs in ASCII format to the robot. The robot translate programs to the binary format. I do not know if this is sufficient answer.
Fanuc is not such as, for example, ABB where everything is ASCII mode and everything can then easily be changed even with ultra edit or in any other text editor.
And off coursers you can get ABB robot studio online for free.
