Use the Setup Tool Menu Bar
Each reader can store its current set of run-time parameters to a coniguration
(.cfg) ile, which contains information such as the enabled symbologies and
how any output data should be formatted.
The same coniguration ile can be loaded onto multiple readers, as the ile
does not contain identiication information such as the IP address or device
name of the reader used to create it.
A reader can also generate a Cognex device coniguration (.cdc) ile, which
stores the set of run-time parameters plus any identiication data, such as
the name of the device, its IP address, subnet mask, and so on. Cognex
recommends generating a device coniguration ile for each reader to allow you
to restore a reader to its operating state with minimal effort.
Use the File menu of the Setup Tool to manage .cfg and .cdc iles:
File Menu
Open Coniguration
Open a saved .cfg coniguration ile.
Save Coniguration
Create a .cfg coniguration ile of current run-
time parameters.
Restore Device
Load a saved device coniguration .cdc ile,
with run-time parameters plus device-speciic
information for a particular DataMan 8000.
Backup Device
Create a device coniguration .cdc ile for a
speciic reader.
