Hello,

I have been programming an application that works on the flexpendant. It works if I load the needed files from the controller but this seems to make everything slow. So, my plan is to load the files from a USB stick. Is there a way to get these files by programming?

Thanks.  
Jay

Hi Jay and Jesse

Do you mean “Load File from USB to Controller” is “Download System” using USB?  
If yes, this is the step :

1. Create system using System Builder on Robot Studio (including Program Module files and EIO parameter).
2. Install “Boot Media” into the System folder which we have copied to the USB.
3. Connect USB to the Pendant and run “X-start” to change the system.

I hope it help
