Also, the progress of a program can be monitored

The communication test and the

debugging efficiency
These two debugging functions minimise the trial
and error that are required until communication is
established due to issues such as the entry of
incorrect ASCII codes or incorrectly typed

the time required until communication is
established.

Communication can be used to
collect various information from

thereby prevent problems before
they occur.
Setting and changing robot operations
