'speed_slider_mask' is currently controller by other RTDE client [SW 5.16.1 not supported ?]

[niomate]

Affected ROS Driver version(s)

2.1.4

Used ROS distribution.

Noetic

Which combination of platform is the ROS driver running on.

Windows using WSL2

How is the UR ROS Driver installed.

Build the driver from source and using the UR Client Library from binary

Which robot platform is the driver connected to.

UR E-series robot

Robot SW / URSim version(s)

5.16.1

How is the ROS driver used.

Through the robot teach pendant using External Control URCap

Issue details

Summary

I recently updated the software on the teach pendant of our UR10e to version 5.16.1.
The connection to the robot worked before that.

Issue details

Upon starting the driver node/launch file I get the error that " Variable 'speed_slider_mask' is currently controlled by another RTDE client. The input recipe can't be used as configured".
When I searched through the issues, I noticed the Ethernet/IP/Fieldbus issue and checked whether it is somehow related to that, but all Fieldbus options are disabled.
There are other URCaps installed (that should however not impact the speed slider) and we used to have a distance sensor controlling the robot speed, but a) that was removed a few weeks ago and b) it worked with that setup on SW version 5.16.1.

Additionally, the error reads "Please note that the minimum software version required is 3.12.0 for CB3 robots and 5.5.1 for e-Series robots. The error above could be related to a non-supported polyscope version. Please update your robot's software accordingly", which is different from the error mentioned in #204

Steps to Reproduce

I don't know whether this is actually reproducable.
But steps would be to start the driver with polyscope version 5.16.1 (?).

Did you check fieldbusses as suggested in #204?

[niomate]

If I didn't miss anything, all Fieldbusses (MODBUS, Profinet, Ethernet/IP) are disabled (at least in the teach pendant UI).
