Visual Basic controls a robot SPEL for Windows NT is a graphical user interface for programming Seiko robots. Visual Basic (VB) Guide NT Version 2.0 is an option that contains two Active X controls called SPELCom and SPELVideo. These controls allow developers to communicate with the robot controller and Vision Guide, the company`s integrated machine-vision system. VB Guide NT is also a DDE communications tool that permits VB programmers to access SPEL features for Windows NT graphical elements. Using this software, custom operator-interface panels can be created to control a robot workcell using off-the-shelf Visual Basic tools.
