4. Considerations about editors
- When setting a digital signal via an expression, the value is set to true or false and the Modbus to 1 or 0. Otherwise, unpredictable errors will occur in the robot.
- When inputting a string via the expression editor, enclose the string in single quotes (') or double quotes (").
- When setting a position/pose for a variable via the expression editor, enclose the position/pose in curly braces ({}).
