What appears on the screen when holding PREV and NEXT on the TP while applying power to the controller?

When holding the PREV and NEXT buttons on the Teach Pendant (TP) while powering up the controller, the Configuration Menu appears on the screen. This action is a diagnostic tool used for initializing the system in a specific mode that allows users to access or modify configuration settings before the main operation of the robot controller begins.

The Configuration Menu is essential for setting up the robot's parameters such as I/O settings, motion settings, and other system configurations necessary for the operation of the robot. By accessing this menu during boot-up, technicians can ensure that all system configurations are correct before proceeding to the operational phases.

Other menus, such as the Main Menu, Diagnostic Menu, or Setup Menu, serve different purposes during the robot's operation and do not appear in this specific scenario. The Main Menu is typically the first interface seen after boot-up in normal operation. The Diagnostic Menu is for troubleshooting and analyzing the system performance, while the Setup Menu is focused on initial setup processes after the main interface has been accessed.
