Install Robot Image

Description

Use Install Robot to install a compatible robot image from the data partition of the USB drive.

Insert the USB drive into the Control Box, then start Robot Tools.

When you copy a robot image from your PC to the USB drive, you do not need to modify the image file.

Installing a new image overwrites all data on the robot.

    Successful Installation Screen

Before the installation starts, select Cancel to return to the main screen without changing the robot disk.

 

Automatic installation

If the robot disk is blank and the USB drive contains one compatible robot image, the installation screen can open automatically and display a countdown. Select Start Installation to start immediately, or select Cancel to stop the countdown and return to the main screen.

 

The USB drive with Robot Tools contains a file named autoinstall.

In this file, you can configure which image to install first during an automatic installation. This also works when the USB drive contains more than one image.

If you delete the autoinstall file, automatic installation does not work.
