3.15 Configuration Sets
A configuration set is a set of values that contains all of
the parameters needed to control the camera. There
are two basic types of configuration sets: the work
configuration set and the factory configuration set.
Work Configuration Set
The work configuration set contains the camera's
current settings and thus determines the camera's
performance, that is, what your image currently looks
like. If you use the CCT+ to change the camera settings
or if you change settings by writing to the camera's
registers, you are making changes to the work
configuration set. The work 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 work configuration set is usually just called the "work set" for short.
Factory Configuration Set
When a camera is manufactured, a test setup is performed on the camera and an optimized
configuration is determined. The factory configuration set contains the camera's factory optimized
configuration. The factory set is saved in a permanent file in the camera's non-volatile memory.
The factory set can not be altered and since it is stored in non-volatile memory, it is not lost when
the camera is reset or switched off. The factory configuration set is usually just called the "factory
set" for short.
3.15.1 Saving Configuration Sets
As mentioned above, the work 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. L800
current work set values in the volatile memory to a file in the camera's non-volatile memory. Files
saved in the non-volatile memory are not lost at reset or power off. You can save up to four
configuration sets to files in the non-volatile memory. These saved configuration sets are
commonly referred to as "user configuration sets" or "user sets."
Saving a Configuration Set
You can save the current work set to a file in the non-volatile memory with the Camera
Configuration Tool Plus (CCT+) or by using binary read/write commands from within your own
application to set the camera's control and status registers (CSRs).
With the CCT+
With the CCT+ (see Section 4.1), you use the File Name Select parameter and the Create User
Set parameter in the User Set Files parameters group to save the work set to a user set file in the
non-volatile memory.
By Setting CSRs
You can save the current work set to a file in the non-volatile memory by writing values to the bulk
data CSR for configuration sets. The bulk data "save" process is used to save the work set to a file.
