Saving A User Set - Basler DART BCON SERIES User Manual

User Sets
There are three reserved areas in the camera's non-volatile memory available for saving
configuration sets that can be customized by the user. These sets are not lost when the camera is
reset or switched off. They are commonly referred to as "user sets".
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 "startup" set, i.e., the set that will be loaded into the active set
whenever the camera is powered on or reset.
Startup Set
You can designate the factory set or one of the user sets as the "startup" set. The designated startup
set will automatically be loaded into the active set whenever the camera starts up at power on or
after a reset.
For more information about designating the startup set, see Section 11.15.3 on

11.15.1 Saving a User Set

After setting your camera parameter values, you can save most of the settings for further use into
User Set 1, User Set 2, or User Set 3. These user sets are not lost when the camera is reset or
switched off.
To save the currently active set into a user set:
1. Make changes to the camera's settings until the camera is operating in a manner that you
would like to save.
2. Set the UserSetSelector parameter to UserSet1, UserSet2, or UserSet3.
3. Execute a UserSetSave command to save the active set to the selected user set.
Saving an active set to a user set
will overwrite any parameters that were previously saved in that user set.

is only allowed when the camera is idle, i.e. when it is not acquiring images

continuously or does not have a single image acquisition pending.
You can save a user set from within your application software by using the pylon API. The following
code snippet illustrates using the API to select User Set 1 and to execute the save command:
camera.UserSetSelector.SetValue(UserSetSelector_UserSet1);
camera.UserSetSave.Execute();
