I want to automate setting the DCS parameters of new robots with KAREL, as they follow a fixed pattern so this would save installation time. Setting the parameters/points works fine (using system variable $DCSS_CPC[n]), but it still leaves the manual action of applying the changed parameters with the DCS code '1111' (and then restarting the controller, but this is an acceptable manual step). Is there any way to automate applying the DCS params via KAREL or some other workaround?

I think it is so desired that the confirmation and restart is done manually...Safety....
(However in Roboguide it works somehow..)

Yeah that sounds fair enough that it requires a manual 'confirmation'. I'll leave the thread as unresolved though to see if there's some other ideas people have come up with.

Load a pre-configured file from the controlled start menu. Wont be able to get around the change and apply function I bet.

I'm curious to know exactly HOW many new robots you configure each day in order for a manual APPLY-operation and the subsequent restart to be such a burden that you would want to automate it.
And as others have already stated, since this has to do with machine safety, I doubt that there will ever be any form of official support for automating this kind of setting to the system.
