The Computer Name setting specifies which computers can use this workstation in order to view the operation (computer names are separated by semicolons). If the operation has a resource restriction and the computer currently used is not listed in the Computer Name field, the operation cannot be opened in Production. (Resource restrictions are specified on the Resource Restrictions tab of the Update Operation dialog. See Add a new operation to a process flow for flow for more information.)

Some machines also define 270 degrees as -90; the check box to the right of the Position Angle allows FactoryLogix to take this into consideration during Machine Programming.
