@ZH2112, it would be possible to install a switch on the IOs and assign it to the freedrive function. This would allow you to turn on the freedrive and move the robot with two hands. You can assign the IO function from the installation tab. -

@newuser, this has been available for as long as I can remember.
1. Wire your switch into the controller 24V and DI0, for example.
2. Go to the installation menu of the Polyscope, and then under IO Setup.
3. Assign the DI0 the Freedrive action:
4. Once the switch is turned on, you should be good to go.
You also might want to jog the robot to a specific or more precise position at some point, this would be impossible with the freedrive on.
