8.14 Configuration Sets

A configuration set is a group of values that contains all of the
parameter settings needed to control the camera. There are
three basic types of configuration sets: the active configuration
set, the default configuration set, and user configuration sets.
Active Configuration Set
The active configuration set contains the camera's current
parameter settings and thus determines the camera's
performance, that is, 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 configuration set.
The active configuration 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 active configuration set is usually called the
"active set" for short.
Default Configuration Set
When a camera is manufactured, a test setup is performed on the camera and an optimized
configuration is determined. The default configuration set contains the camera's factory optimized
configuration. The default configuration set is saved in a permanent file in the camera's non-volatile
memory. It is not lost when the camera is reset or switched off and it cannot be changed. The default
configuration set is usually just called the "default set" for short.
User Configuration Sets
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
configuration set 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
configuration sets. A configuration set saved in a reserved area is commonly referred to as a "user
configuration set" or "user set" for short.
The three available user sets are called User Set 1, User Set 2, and User Set 3.
The settings for the luminance lookup table are not saved in the user sets and are
lost when the camera is reset or switched off. If used, these settings must be set
again after each camera reset or restart.
