Configuring Axes, Options, and Kinematic Parameters Configuring Axes, Options, and Kinematic Parameters Some robots have a variable number of joints, option bits that control the presence of special features, and kinematic parameters used in position calculations. The Axes, Options, and Kinematic Parameters dialog box allows you to edit these parameters. For background information on robot axes, options, and kinematic parameters, see the Adept SmartMotion Developer's Guide . Note that the ACE interface, described below, can be used in place of the SPEC utility program to edit these items. CAUTION:
Improper editing of robot joints, option bits, and kinematic parameters can cause the robot to malfunction or become inoperable. Therefore, editing must be per- formed by qualified personnel. There are two ways to access the dialog box: l From the Robot Installation Wizard. For details on the Robot Installation Wizard, see the topic Installing Robots . l From the Robot Editor menu, click Configure > Axes, Options, and Kinematics .
