2. Click the Settings Tab - General - Setup - General panel
3. In the Settings Files group, select the Device Settings Only radio button.
4. Click Backup.
5. Disconnect from the source device.
6. Connect to the destination device (where you are copying to).
7. Click the Settings Tab - General - Setup - General panel
8. In the Settings Files group, select the Device Settings Only radio button.
9. Click Restore.
10. Disconnect from the destination device.
11. Repeat steps 6 through 9 to copy the files to other destination devices.
TIP: To back up settings, calibration information, network information, and vision program files on an M-
Series processor, “Issue: Need to Back Up All M-Series Settings, Configuration Files, and Programs” on
page 6-44.
Camera Type
This selection is enabled only when you have a camera connected to a C-Series device.
• DSL: Click this radio button when you are using a Datalogic Impact Digital Serial Link (DSL) cam-
era. The camera type is automatically detected and displayed in the Camera system object’s Setup -
Calibration screen.
• CameraLink: Click this radio button when you are using a Camera Link camera. Select the camera
type from the drop down list.
Communication Panel
Shift Source
This setting determines how the device responds to the hardware signal as an active input on the shift trigger
input.
• Camera Triggers - This indicates that the device should use the trigger input as the shift input. (The
shift event will occur simultaneously with the camera trigger.) This allows you to synchronize camera
triggers and shift events in inspection tasks.
• Rising Edge - An active shift input is indicated by a voltage increase on the shift input.
• Falling Edge - An active shift input is indicated by a voltage decrease on the shift input.
• Both Edges - An active shift input is indicated by a voltage increase and decrease (two triggers per
input cycle) on the shift input. (Not available on M-Series processors)
Input Debounce
Here you define the debounce time for two types of device trigger signals, shift and event. Debounce deter-
mines the maximum trigger rate the system will allow (basically like a governor on an engine) to help pre-
vent negative effects from noise and high frequency bursts. The debounce setting must be able to filter out
noise while not introducing any unnecessary delays. You may need to try several different Delay and Hold-
off settings to find the optimum combination.
