In Utility Manager click [Publish] » [Build Download Data for SD/USB Disk] to create downloadable data including project file, recipe data, or history data…etc. into USB/SD.

Step 1. Launch Utility Manager and click [Publish] » [Build Download Data for SD/USB Disk].

Step 2. Specify the directory of the USB disk or SD card, and the directory of data files, and then click [Build]. For ease of file management, it is recommended that a dedicated folder be created in the USB/SD. You can use a folder name that’s easy to identify, for example, the HMI name or model name. As shown in the following figure, the folder to save download data is: G:\MT8100iE
