What is the purpose of teach mode?

Teach mode is specifically designed to allow operators to control and manipulate the robot manually, often referred to as "jogging." This mode enables the operator to physically move the robot to teach it specific positions or to plan its movement paths without executing any programmed jobs. By jogging the robot and external motors, the operator can define the exact points or trajectories that the robot should follow during its automated operations. This is essential for ensuring accuracy and precision in the robot's tasks, as it allows for the hands-on calibration and adjustment needed to optimize performance.

While executing programmed jobs, configuring network settings, and displaying system diagnostics are important functions in robotics, they do not pertain to teaching the robot its movements or operational routes in the same way that jogging does.
