Hello everyone,

I’m currently working with a UR5e.  
I’m developping some URCaps using the virtual machine 5.9.4.1031232

I need to activate some outputs from a g-code file.

I have seen that this is possible to do :

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/universal_robots/original/2X/3/3895fd715eb6ee5ec7ab1b8cb70610e2f832b511.png)  
(source : [Universal Robots - Remote TCP & Toolpath URCap FAQ](https://www.universal-robots.com/articles/ur/application-installation/remote-tcp-toolpath-urcap-faq/))

But the robot on the virtual machine is on version 5.11.0 and not 5.11.5.  
Do I have to update the virtual robot or there is another way to activate some outputs ?  
If an update is needed, how can I update the virtual robot ?

(The outputs need to be activated at some specific positions given by the g-code file. I cannot activate thme separetly by a Set fonction or from an URScript)

Thanks in advance for your answer

Best regards

This feature to activate digital outputs from the imported G-code file was introduced in version 5.11.5 so you will need to update the version of polyscope within URsim. You can download a newer version from our support page just like you did the original one.
