Is it present a System Variable by means is possible to check if the robot has been moved in Jog, i.e. after Automatic stop.  
The purpose is that once the program is restarted in Auto, so I could use the status of this System Variable to make some dedicated operation to initialize the robot.  
Thank you,  
Simone

Hi !  
You can have a look at system inputs _RobotNotOnPath_ and _RegainDistError._ Those are not related only to jogging, but maybe you can use them for that purpose. Also have a look at system parameters in SYS.CFG file in section #CAB\_REGAIN\_DIST.

Actually, that would be a system output for path regain distance error. There is a parameter to set for regain distance in manual and automatic mode. Another function you may be interested in is PPMovedInManMode.

_…Actually, that would be a system_ _output…_  
Correct! My bad. Was thinking _out_ but vriting _in_ on some reason.
