Intended Use
The ICE Tool software is designed to be installed on a desktop or laptop
computer and then connect to ICE compatible robotic support
equipment via an Ethernet interface. The primary function of the ICE
Tool software is to assist in the configuration of an ICE robotic system.
Safety when Working with Robotic Equipment
In normal operation remote-controlled equipment can move suddenly
and without warning. Since audible warnings are not suitable for use
within the studio environment, it is recommended that only trained
personnel be allowed to work in the active areas where remote-
controlled heads and pedestals are located. The safe operating zone is
a minimum of 1 m (3 ft). Do not operate robotic equipment if you cannot
see it.
