I want officelite to output the robot's joint angle through the serial port. I don't know if officelite can achieve such a function, and how to achieve it? Is there a routine code?
Can officelite provide serial port output of robot joint angle

KSS 5 or KSS 8? KSS 8 doesn't even support serial port comms, anymore. And I suspect even OL 5 couldn't access the host PC's serial ports.
I did see someone, once, write a Visual Basic program that executed inside the "Windows" half of the KRC's brain, and could pull information from the Windows-owned serial port and pass it through to variables in the robot interpreter. So the reverse should be possible, but I never knew how it was done.
I'd say there's a decent chance that something like OpenShowVar might work with OL, and if it does, you could probably write a Windows-side program that could take data from OpenShowVar and squirt it out through a COM port.

Thank you for your reply! I use office Lite version 8.2. Does this version support serial communication? I am reading his manual these days and have not found the part about serial communication at present.

No....
OL8.2 is a simulation software. It simulates KSS8.2.
But KSS8.x no longer supports RS232, so simulator does not support it either.
if you need RS232 support, you will need to make something on your own.
This means transferring current position from OL8.2 to a custom external program using some form of communication that OL does support. Then convince this external program to send the data in suitable form to an RS232 port (built in or Usb<RS232 or etherent<>RS232).
