TriggSpeed vs System TCP Speed output

Hello,

TriggSpeed allows to accurately control the timing of the analog output mapped to represent TCP speed. However, there is also TCP speed available under System output that can be mapped to an analog output signal, but doesn't allow for any control over timing of the signal. 

I use a lot of TriggL (almost all MoveL contain a corresponding TriggL) in my code to change the speed of external equipment as the robot TCP speed changes. I was wondering if there is a way to get rid of the TriggLs and only use the system TCP speed output while still having some control over timing of the analog output signal?

This would help me reduce size of my program and not run into RAPID memory limitations.

  • The system output is for the actual TCP speed at the moment.  What is the external equipment?  If it concerns dispensing, dispenseware is what I would recommend.

  • Hmm, so there is no option to control the timing of the system output right now. Will have to stick with TriggSpeed for now
