Using the virtual keyboard for op input

Robot Controller
1

Hi,

is there any way to open the virtual keyboard for operator input on the IRC5 flexpendant? For instance, I’d like the operator to enter a string at program startup.

I need something similar to ‘ReadNum nVar, “Enter a number”;’ but with strings.

Or is it only possible with RAB?

See the RAPID reference manual for UIAlphaEntry.
