Caution about the operating environment
Since the motion editor of RBT-1 uses 3D graphics with MicrosoftⓇ DirectXⓇ technology,
the graphics operating environment requires attention.
Please make sure of your computer’s specifications, and ask the hardware
manufacturers about how to use technology after DirectXⓇ9.0c
Even if your computer is equipped with the operating environment required, we cannot
guarantee that all computer operations can be performed without problems. RPU11
may not work properly on notebook PCs, small-footprint PCs and all-in-one PCs.
Also, the motion speed of the real robot may vary from that of the robot on the motion
editor, depending on the performance of your PC and the operating conditions.
