Not sure you will be able to send a list of floats to a specific register. I see the command:

```auto
write_output_float_register(register #, float #.#)

```

in the URscript manual, however you would have to do six separate registers for each of the pose values.

Might want to try:

- sending pose as string over socket communication
- reading modbus registers
- using RTDE to read real time position

Not super familiar with sending data over registers so someone else in urcommunity might have a better answer for you.

Anyways hope that helps, and good luck!

It takes 6 registers, write each of the pose values to a separate register.

I have a similar question. My UR Robot is executing a script, which is sent through the secondary port.  
I want to write 6 float numbers to a register using **write\_output\_float\_register,** and ensure **not interrupte the ongoing script**.  
How can I do this?  
I sent the follow script by RTDE,it not workd. but secondary port is ok.  
def writeOutputFloatRegister():  
write\_output\_float\_register(3, 1.1)  
write\_output\_float\_register(4, 2.2)  
write\_output\_float\_register(5, 3.3)  
write\_output\_float\_register(6, 4.4)  
write\_output\_float\_register(7, 5.5)  
end
