Subject:	MDI Jog & Teach point file changes when the Robot Control Panel is opened

Symptoms
When using the Jog & Teach window in MDI mode (default) with multiple point files for one robot, a problem occurs if the Robot Control Panel dialog is open and closed when the default point file is not selected on Jog & Teach. The point file selection changes to the default point file, but the current points are for the previously selected point file. This can cause incorrect data in the point files if new points are taught or point data is changed.

Causes
This is caused by a bug in EPSON RC+.

Remedy
To avoid this problem, do one of the following:

When the Jog & Teach dialog is open in MDI mode, then re-select the desired point file after opening and closing the Robot Control Panel.
Close Jog & Teach before opening the Robot Control Panel. Then re-open Jog & Teach after closing the Robot Control Panel.
Use the Jog & Teach window in dialog mode. You can change this from Setup | Preferences | Jogging

Status
This problem was fixed in version 4.0.2 SP1.
