Download files

Using Git

Clone into https://github.com/ngi-automation/nextera-xt.git from the Protocol Files directory:

cd "C:\VWorks Workspace\Protocol Files"
git clone https://github.com/ngi-automation/nextera-xt.git

Alternatively, download the compressed folder from: https://github.com/ngi-automation/nextera-xt/archive/master.zip and extract to C:\VWorks Workspace\Protocol Files. Rename the resulting nextera-xt-master folder to nextera-xt. The path to the folder containing the extracted files should then be C:\VWorks Workspace\Protocol Files\nextera-xt.
