I have a quick question about RobotStudio. How do you create a move instruction with a custom velocity? I need to do a MoveL with a velocity of 1.69 mm/s and can’t figure out how to do it. It will only let me choose a velocity from the “canned” options and the lowest it will allow is 5 mm/s. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I suppose it is enough to define your own speeddata. Check the RAPID Reference manual for more information on ‘speeddata’.
