.. group-tab:: PolyScope X

The latest release can be downloaded from `GitHub (URCapX)
<https://github.com/UniversalRobots/Universal_Robots_ExternalControl_URCapX/releases>`_.

To install it you first have to copy it to a USB stick and plug that into the robot's teach
pendant.

On the welcome screen click on the hamburger menu in the top-left corner and select *System
Manager* to enter the robot's setup. There select *URCaps* to enter the URCaps installation
screen. You'll have to press *unlock* and enter the admin password to be able to install new
URCaps.

There, click the "+URCap" button at the top-right to open the file selector. There you should see
all urcap files stored on a plugged USB drive. Select and open
the **external-control-X.Y.Z.urcapx** file and click *Confirm*. A popup should ask you to
confirm the installation.

Upon confirmation, the external-control URCap should be listed as installed.

After the robot rebooted you should find the **External Control** URCapX on the *Application*
Screen. If you open it, you will get to its configuration screen.

Here you'll have to setup the IP address of the external PC which will be running the remote
application. Note that the robot and the external PC have to be in the same network, ideally in a
direct connection with each other to minimize network disturbances. The custom port should be left
untouched for now.

To use the new URCaps, create a new program and insert the **External Control** program node into
the program tree

If you select the External Control program node, you'll see a button "Update program"
appearing next to it. With the external application started, press it to receive the script
code.

.. warning::

Support for PolyScope X isn't fully developed, yet. Please consider using External Control
with PolyScope X as an open beta.
