VSTA?

hud_uitm

Hi,

I?_Tm Hud. I?_Tm a beginner in Robotic Welding using ABB Robot. I?_Tve been informed by someone about create customize function such as ArcSinus or ArcCosine using VSTA. The problem is that I don?_Tt even understand about VSTA. Can anyone tell me the basic idea or some introduction about VSTA. Please give some example (such as program/pictures/etc) if available. Please do help me.

Try the following:

1. Open VSTA 

 

2. Create a sample project (File->New Project)

 

3. Build the sample

 

 

4. Try the macros from RS (can also be trigged from the Event Manager)

 

The RS API manual contains information about what functions that are available and how they work.

 

Some familiarity with Visual Studio and C# may also help.

The purpose of VSTA is to provide an accessible enviroment for users that want to customize RS to meet their needs. VSTA exposes the RS API. The RS API can also be used from the regular editions of Visual Studio. That is recommended for users that want to create their own features. On the other hand, VSTA can be used to create Macros that can be launched from the EventManager during simulation, which is not the case for add-ins created with standalone Visual Studio.

Which problem do you want to solve with the help of VSTA and the RS API?
