Hi Holger, I definitely know that Robolab 2.5.2 is running in classic mode of MacOS X 10.2.8. So it must be something with the file owner and user rights for a file or a folder in your system (and in every other system where the software should be (...)

Hello, I just purchased Robolab 2.5.2 from Pitsco and am trying to install it under Mac OS 10.2.

Following up my own post with more information: I found in the Minnesota FIRST League's Software Training Manual the statement: "Local subroutines are identified and called by number (1-8)."

Does RoboLab have a maximum subroutine number? Also, what is the maximum number of subroutines which can be defined? Referring to real subroutines, not SubVIs. I have a program which defines 5 subroutines, numbered zero through 4. It seems like when (...) (22 years ago, 28-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.robolab)

What exactly does the Robolab "Reset Event" icon do? Under what circumstances would or should it be used? The Robolab manual gives only a Microsoft-esque useless restatement of the name of the icon: "Event This command resets monitoring for an (...)
