Operating sequence
When you select one of the configured softkeys, e.g. "Network drive",
"Compact flash card" or "Disk", the Explorer appears on the screen
with the files and programs of the external drive.
Select the program that you want to execute with the cursor and then
press the "Execution from ext." softkey.
Further information
Direct execution from a network drive is not recommended, as the
stability and dynamic response of all networks cannot be guaranteed.
Recommendation:
Copy the programs from the network onto the compact flash card on
the PCU20 and run them from there.
