TOOL transformation function TOOL transformation function Syntax TOOL Function Return the value of the transformation specified in the last TOOL command or instruction. Usage Considerations The command LISTL TOOL can be used to display the current tool setting. The TOOL function returns information for the robot selected by the task executing the function. If the eV+ system is not configured to control a robot, use of the TOOL function does not generate an error because of the absence of a robot. However, the information returned by the function may not be meaningful. The name "tool" cannot be used as a program name or variable name.
