position variable

is there somewhere within the KUKA robot that a variable gets read.. Im writing a vb6 program that i would like to be able to read information at each position that the robot reaches but I cannot find within the documentation what i might want to use for this nor if an actual target positiion is read..

does that make any sense?

that would be great. I have enough to get connected but not enough to help me find what im looking for.

martin,

I have alot of this information allready and maybe i missed the answer, but is there a trigger i can use for logging values when the robot reaches a position. I know i cant actually get the position name the robot has executed.

heres my objective,

My robot is applying force which at this time is being measured with an analog sensor. The analog sensor right now isnt being used for anything. I would like to use it for some data logging/trending for part quality in the future to create some scientific data that may be used in the future. this would mean at the moment logging

LIN p1 .02 m/sec $anin[1] = 6.5

so the ultimate question is, is there a way that i can figure out what position the robot reached when i log the data? I dont know the means at this moment.
