February 2010 Q&A

I am currently running Robot/SPACE 2 on multiple systems. If I convert one system to Robot/SPACE 3, can I still connect to the Robot/SPACE 2 systems from my PC? 
Yes, you can install both versions of the Robot/SPACE Graphical User Interface (GUI) on your PC. Use the Robot/SPACE 2 GUI to connect to the Robot/SPACE 2 systems and the Robot/SPACE 3 GUI to connect to the Robot/SPACE 3 system.

How can I quickly find out if objects were not saved in my backup?
From the Robot/SAVE Main Menu, select option 1 (Operations Menu). From the Operations Menu, select option  2 (Display Status Messages). Type a 2 next to the backup to display the objects that were not saved.

If all objects were saved, a message displays at the bottom of the panel (“This Rotation contains no unsaved objects.”). Otherwise, the Objects Not Saved Inquiry panel displays listing the objects not saved.

How can I determine if a message file has message sets that use it?
If you are using Robot/CONSOLE 5, select Message Sets from the Tree view, then Message Files. Select the specific message file in the List view and right-click to display a drop-down menu. Select the “Where used” option to list the message sets that use the message file.
