Upload Settings
The SmartAXIS module user program can be uploaded to the memory cartridge. First configure the settings for the memory
cartridge to automatically upload the user program from the SmartAXIS module in WindLDR. If a user program already exists on
the memory cartridge, the user program on the memory cartridge is deleted and the upload settings are configured. When a
memory cartridge configured with upload settings is inserted in the SmartAXIS and the power is turned on, the user program on
the SmartAXIS module is automatically uploaded to the memory cartridge. The upload to the memory cartridge configured with
upload settings is valid only one time. To upload the user program again, configure the settings for the memory cartridge to
automatically upload the user program. For the SmartAXIS Pro, the user program on the SmartAXIS module can be uploaded to
the memory cartridge with the LCD and operation buttons. If a user program already exists on the memory cartridge, the user
program on the memory cartridge is deleted and the user program is uploaded.
