Suggestion/feedback:When working with the RTDE interface, some more documentation would be appreciated. E.g. several of the state integers isn’t documented. The Robot\_mode is documented in the “Client\_Interface” excel documentation of real time client, and I guess this is the same for RTDE, but it would be nice if this information was available in the RTDE documentation as well.

If changes then happen later then I guess a new protocol version will be set, and then you would be able to see the right definitions from that, if the documentation is maintained.
