The name of the configuration file that you need to use in CPRog for your robot is composed as follows. Use the table below to identify the filename: In general, any configuration file is comprises as follows: <#><IGUS_DQ_arm/IGUS_arm>_<4DOF/5DOF>_<SV/BV>_<AE/ME>.prj

Igus robolink DQ or D arm? <IGUS_DQ_arm/IGUS_arm> There are several types or robolink robot arms, the most common is the D arm, named just “IGUS arm” Igus d dq.png
4 or 5 Degrees of freedom? <4DOF/5DOF> DOF is the acronym for “degrees of freedom”, meaning the number of robot joints. The robot on the right is 5 DOF. Note: the white gripper is not counted. Robolink DOF.png
Small version or big version? <SV/BV> BV stands for Big Version with 2.5 kg payload. SV stands for Small Version with 0.5 kg payload. Measure the diameter of joint 2. 5cm = BV; 3cm = SV Robolink BVSV.png
Abtriebsencoder or Motorencoder? <AE/ME> ME versions use a motor encoder, AE version use a encoder on the gear output. Count the number of sockets of any of the modules labelled "Stepper Motor Driver Module" on the DIN Rail. 4 sockets = ME; 3 sockets = AE DINrail AEME.png

This should narrow down the choice to a single project.

You can load the Project file by clicking on the circular icon at the top left of CPRog and then selecting the corresponding file located in C:\CPRog\Data\Projects\.
