PolyScope 5.0 is the documented release associated with implementation of the new programming-menu request. The request targeted repeated navigation between the Command and Structure windows, separate Basic and Advanced selections, limited access to Structure edit controls from the Command window, and the need for more program-tree space. The available evidence does not identify the robot models, controller compatibility, settings, or the final behavior of each control.

Programming Workflow Problems Addressed

Workflow area Requested improvement Evidence status
Program tree Provide more space for reading program code. The need was reported; the final resizing behavior is not specified.
Command and Structure windows Reduce frequent switching between the two windows. The overall feature request was marked implemented in PolyScope 5.0.
Basic and Advanced selections Place both groups of buttons in one window. Requested behavior; the evidence does not confirm the exact final arrangement.
Edit controls Make Structure-window edit controls available from the Command window. Requested behavior; individual controls are not identified.
Interface selection Allow selection of another programming GUI through settings. Requested behavior; no setting or selection procedure is documented.

PolyScope 5.0 Implementation Status

The implementation notice explicitly associates the completed feature request with PolyScope 5.0. It also references a PolyScope program-view image, but the evidence provides no release notes, menu map, compatibility list, or control-level description. Treat PolyScope 5.0 as the confirmed implementation reference, not as proof that every requested detail appears exactly as proposed.

Verify the New Programming Menu

  1. Confirm that the target system is running PolyScope 5.0 before evaluating the implemented programming view.
  2. Open the programming interface and determine whether the program tree provides enough visible code area for the intended workflow.
  3. Check how the interface presents Command and Structure functions, then verify whether Basic and Advanced selections require separate navigation.
  4. Check whether the required edit controls are accessible while working in the Command view.
  5. Inspect the available settings only if an alternate GUI is required; the evidence does not identify a setting name or confirm that interface selection was implemented.

Record any difference between the requested workflow and the installed interface by control and view. This separates confirmed PolyScope 5.0 availability from assumptions about the final layout.

Known Documentation Limits

The evidence does not specify affected robot models, upgrade prerequisites, controller hardware, firmware migration steps, or whether the menu can be reverted. Verify those items using the release documentation applicable to the installed robot and controller before changing production equipment.

FAQ

Which PolyScope version introduced the new programming menu?

The feature request was marked implemented with the release of PolyScope 5.0.

Does PolyScope 5.0 combine Basic and Advanced buttons in one window?

Combining those buttons was part of the request, but the available evidence does not confirm the exact final arrangement. Verify both selections directly in the PolyScope 5.0 programming view.

Can I select the old or new PolyScope programming GUI in settings?

A selectable alternate GUI was requested, but no setting name or confirmation of that specific behavior is provided. Inspect the installed PolyScope 5.0 settings and applicable release documentation.
