7.21 User Sets

Normal Implementation
A user set is a group of parameter values with all
the settings needed to control the camera.
There are three basic types of user sets:
a selection of user sets -

some that can be configured by the user

and
some with factory setups that can not be

changed
the user set configured as the default

("user set default").
the active user set.

The Active User Set
The active user set contains most of the camera's
current parameter settings and is part of the active
set. The active set contains all of the camera's
current parameter settings and thus determines
the camera's performance, and therefore, what
your image currently looks like. When you change
parameter settings using the pylon API or the
pylon Viewer, you are making changes to the
active set. The active set is located in the camera's
volatile memory and the settings are lost, if the
camera is reset or if power is switched off.
The User Sets to Be Configured by the User
As mentioned above, the active configuration set is stored in the camera's volatile memory and the
settings are lost, if the camera is reset or if power is switched off. The camera can save most of the
settings from the current active set to a reserved area in the camera's non-volatile memory. A user
set that has been saved in the non-volatile memory is not lost when the camera is reset or switched
off. There are three reserved areas in the camera's non-volatile memory available for saving user
sets that can be configured by the user. The three available user sets are called User Set 1, User
Set 2, and User Set 3.
When the camera is running, a saved user set can be loaded into the active set. A saved user set
can also be designated as the User Set Default, i.e. as the "startup" set, that will be loaded into the
active set whenever the camera is powered on or reset. Instructions for loading a saved user set
into the active set and for designating which set will be the startup set appear below in
