Which parts of robtarget data need updating?

Hi all

I am trying to control an arm using a Kinect and have the new coordinates for the position data in a robtarget calculated from my kinect application.

When I try to update a robtarget with the new X Y Z coordinates I can see the numbers change in RobotStudio but the program does not run.

Do I need to update the other parts of robtarget data? things like the robot configuration and orientation?

I looked into orientation and thought that OrientZYX would be a good function to use to give me the orient data I need (if i need it) but I dont know how to calculate the angles needed for inputs just from my coordinates given by the kinect

Secondly for the robot configuration I can just turn them off with ConfLOFF but this may cause some errors later. Are there any other solutions?

Will I have problems only updating the robtargets position data? Or do I need to update the other pieces too?

kind regards
