Where is MatrixAdd?

RAPID Programming
1

Hello. I’m trying to cleanup some code and realized i could save a lot of rows by useing MatrixAdd and MatrixReset. “They are in the RAPID Instructions, Functions and Data types for RobotWare 7.15”

But when I try to implement them I get no IntelliSense and Rapid says “Identifier not found”

The code I want to input:
MatrixAdd SavedPositions, PosAdjust, SavedPositions;
MatrixReset PosAdjust;

What gives?

MatrixAdd is used to add one matrix to another matrix. A matrix can only be added
to another matrix if the two matrices have the same dimensions, and the result will be a matrix with same dimensions as A.

lets see your matrix declarations

I think you also have to use dnum data type and the result needs to be a VAR

Hello.
It’s not a syntax issue. It was omnicore. Or RobotWare to be exact. A lot of the Matrix-instructions seems to be missing in RW 7.8.2.

In RW 7.15.2 (and quite possibly earlier) they are back. Problem “solved”.

Hello,
MatrixAdd was introduce from RW 7.14 (in ReleaseNotes)
They should notify this in Help.
