5.3.1 Using Magic Files
1. Download and save Magic Files to the root folder on a USB stick. If more than one Magic File
is on the USB stick, they run in sequence. Warnings appear for each file. Do not remove the
USB stick until the last file has finished. Multiple folders are created and named with serial
number as well as a sequence number (e.g., 201855xxxx_0, 201855xxxx_1).
2. Insert a USB stick into the USB connector located on the top right side of the Teach Pendant.
3. A red ! USB ! -sign appears on the screen. Do not remove the USB stick.
4. Wait for a green USB -sign to appear. If more than one Magic File is on the USB stick,
proceed to Step 3. NOTE: Large files (e.g., history log) may take up to 2 minutes to download.
5. After the last Magic File is completed the USB stick can be safely removed.
The Magic File creates a folder on the USB stick named with the serial number of the robot.
