A method, computer program product, and computer system for identifying, by a computing device, a change to at least one record of a plurality of records in a multi-record update. At least one problem condition associated with the change to the at least one record is determined, wherein the at least one problem condition is determined via at least one problem definition object before the change is saved. The at least one problem condition is organized on a display. An action is executed on the at least one problem condition displayed.

Automatic detection of problems in a large-scale multi-record update system and method

A method, computer program product, and computer system for receiving, by a computing device, a selection of a set of records to edit in a multi-record update operation. A selection is received of at least one record of the set of records on which to capture one or more changes. At least one aspect of the at least one record of the set of records is captured. The at least one aspect is played back on one or more remaining records of the set of records.

A motion controller and a method of controlling the motion of a plurality of axes which prevents a discontinuous position command being generated to a follower axis. A follower mode transfer function circuit or routine generates a position command in response to a master axis position. This function can be in the form of electronic gearing or camming. A bias latch is utilized to offset any change in position resulting from a change in mode, such as changing from electronic gearing to electronic camming, changing cam profiles or gearing ratios, or changing the master axis. The latch is summed with the transfer function position command and a standard move command profile generator position command to provide the follower axis position command. The latch is recalculated each time the follower mode is changed. A halt command can be used to selectively block or enable an independent move command signal, allowing the follower axis to remain in motion when the follower mode is turned off (not following the master axis), or allowing the follower mode to be turned on while the follower axis is in motion without a sudden change in position. Trigger calculation circuitry is used to precalculate timing for activating the follower mode when follower mode is changed from off to on while the follower axis is already in motion such that the axes are in phase after ramping time.

A method for uniquely identifying a file, along with its particular version ID, used in an application program by a central processing unit provides a system for file security. The method computes a CRC for a file and then appends a version string and CRC at the end of the file according to its version ID. The added CRC/version record information is non-destructive. Once appended, the record will be transported with the file when ever it is moved or copied. CRC allows the integrity of the file to be verified at any time and is used to detect viruses or corrupted or tampered files at startup and also during runtimes of the file and its associated application. The operating system will store the new file length in a file allocation table and will also copy a file seal with the file. When used with a set of files for a particular installation, the file seal provides a unique bill of materials to identify the exact file contents of the particular installation. Down loadable files will then be compared with the allocation table to verify the version of the files and will provide error messages if they are not compatible with the installed system base.

Method for identifying the validity of an executable file description by

An interface for enabling an application program to control the movement of objects within a robotics workstation, the workstation including a plurality of objects, the plurality of objects being members of a group of objects, the interface including a module for representing a model of the workstation, the model including a representation of the locations of objects within the workstation; a module for processing a command from the application program, the command identifying a first object of interest, a second object of interest and a desired movement, the first and second objects of interest being selected from among the plurality of objects, the processing module including a module for identifying a robot that connects the first and second objects of interest within the model; and a module for sending a motion command to the identified robot.
