In the manual P38 it states that “All digital outputs can be disabled automatically when program execution is stopped. See Polyscope Page 101”. but I can find no reference to this feature can anyone help.

Hi

In the “installation” menu, then in “I/O SETUP” you can click any output and at the lower part of the scrren there is a dropdown called “action in program” with few defaults actions you can choose for the output to occur with the action of the program.

I hope that this is what you were asking for!!

If you look through the URScript manual, you could set them up in your Installation Node Script Writer.  
An example URScript function is “set\_runstate\_standard\_digital\_output\_to\_value(0,1)”.

thank you for the information.  
do you know if there’s an equivalent function in SDK?
