  1. Having successfully installed our development robot, you can now proceed and log in to our Headquarters (the verification email with the activation link should have been sent to you in seperate email). Robotiq Headquarters (HQ) is a platform where automated processes are created, executed, and monitored.

 

2. When you enter the process editor within the HQ, you will notice a red triangle that can be seen in the pictures below.

 

By clicking on it, the dialog window will show up. Your next step is to provide the data from the Handler Monitoring Tool. It is an app that is up and running right after logging in to the machine. This is the only needed when working with development robots and to inform the HQ as to which network port the Handler on the machine is using so that the HQ knows how to send instructions to the Handler to initiate the process.
