Hi,
Having some trouble displaying the a integer variable. variable is declared is .src and .dat file. program is a simple for loop and need to display the cycle count to prove a no of cycles to customer. program is shown below. Have not worked with displaying variables in KRC4 so would like to get a grasp of this
Declare the variable in a global .dat file or in $config.dat. Local variables are not that easy to display.
Where do you want it displayed? In the Variable Monitor, or printed to a message on the pendant? For the former, Hermann's method is what you need. For the latter, you want to look into the MsgLib program that comes with every KUKAbot (located in the /System directory).
depending where and how variable is declared affects scope as well as how and when it can be monitored. run-time variables cannot be monitored when or iprogram is running, whenf program is not selected, or when selected but advance run reached routine end or is inside another routine.
variable declared in DAT file can be monitored if program is selected, does not matter if running or not, if ended or not.
and monitoring in Overview works for GLOBAL variables only....
as already stated, you cannot monitor any variable any time you like. show your code. where and how your variable is declared? your last message suggests it is still a runtime variable instead of being declared in the DAT file. are you sure you don't have two same or similiarly named variables?
So if the code up there is still valid your local variable shadows the global variable. You have to remove th local declaration as panic already said.
