😁 Hello,

Does anybody know how I can use the feature ‘Flexpendant Viewer’ with a online Robotcontroller?

I get an error all the time in the ‘Output window’!

Best regards,

Jaahhhh:grinning::grinning:

Are you connected as a UAS user with less than full access? There is a known issue with this scenario. What version of RS and RW are you using?

RussD,

I am using the same software-hardware as Jaaahhh:  
RobotStudio 5.12  
RobWare 5.12.0  
Windows XP SP2

We are logged in as Programmer with all rights.

The error message is:  
RobotStudio .NET exeption: Flexpendant capture failed.  
Base exception: COMException  
Exeption from HRESULT: 0xC0040401 at RobotStudioOnline.AppWindows.FlexpendantViewer.CaptureCompleted(AsyncResult result)

Regards,

Look at your default user specifically, it must have full access or else the FPViewer won’t work. It doesn’t matter what user you are logged in as, I think FPViewer uses default user to access, so if it doesn’t have full access it won’t work. This is scheduled to be fixed in 5.12.01.

Russ,

You are right. 👍 Just another ABB bug? If you give the default user full access then the Flexpendant Viewer is working. For now this can temporarely be a workaround. When is 5.12.1 expected?

Mario and Luigi will be happy.

Ciao from Italy

It should be available somewhere around week 24-25, i.e. mid June.
