The application software (iNspect and iLabel) overrides I/O settings in the Camera Configuration File,
defining the trigger inputs, strobe output, and decision outputs. Sherlock uses the VA-Genie Camera
Configuration file definitions for I/O, and the CamExpert Camera file for Genie register settings.
