Method and computer program for producing a graphical user interface of a manipulator program

Abstract

The present invention relates to a computer program for producing a graphical user interface () of a manipulator program and to a method for navigation through a manipulator program, wherein the manipulator system () controlled by the manipulator program comprises at least one manipulator (). The manipulator program comprises at least one set-down point (APto AP). The user interface () has a graphical program progress indicator () which indicates the current program progress of the manipulator program and the at least one set-down point (APto AP) of the manipulator program. The at least one set-down point (APto AP) indicated can be selected by a user, and the manipulator program is set up to control the manipulator system () in such a manner that the system assumes a system state assigned to the selected set-down point (APto AP) in response to the selection. The method comprises the steps of: providing a manipulator program; producing the graphical user interface; stopping the manipulator program; receiving a selection of a set-down point on the program progress indicator of the graphical user interface; and guiding the manipulator program to the selected set-down point, with the result that the manipulator program controls the manipulator system in such a manner that the system assumes the system state assigned to the selected set-down point. Such navigation may be advantageous, in particular, in the field of debugging, error correction and parameter correction or parameter optimization.
