I am hammering through a program in Roboguide in support of a colleague. The thought dawned on me that there might be some time saving tips available form you folks. The project I am looking at is nose deep in re purposed (ing) routines and registers.
The question-
Is there a short cut to finding the ultimate source of a register's value?
This came up in trying to find why the robot is stacking on the layer above the desired one.
It is easy enough to see the three registers that are being populated with the information. Not so easy to sift through the 169 selections to find the ultimate source. Even starting with Main and digging through, each of these selections is calling macro's and programs that are setting the registers situationally or conditionally. In Rockwell you can just go to cross reference and find your culprit.
Additionally-
What are your best practices to getting to the bottom of causation from the teach pendant or Roboguide?
Thank you in advance for your participation.

Go to the robot web server and at the bottom is Search Tool. It will text search all programs and show you the line of code that it shows up on. Be aware of indirectly addressed registers.

If you want a offline solution, I typically use the "find in files" function on a MD: backup. That function is in UltraEdit, and Notepad++.
