Vision Program Save
In the Device Control Drawer
The Vision Program Save tool saves the current vision program file to the Impact device when it runs. There
are no output values.
How to use the Save Vision Program tool
Use this tool when you want to save the current vision program file. If the file is saved with a new name, the
file is saved with the new name on the device, then loaded.
To save the current vision program file with the same name, leave the Filename and Program Name proper-
ties blank.
NOTE: If you enter the name of a vision program file that already exists on the device, the existing file is
overwritten without a warning.
To save the current vision program file, but with a different name (Save As), enter the new name in the File-
name property. Leave the Program Name property blank. The file is saved with the new name on the device,
then loaded.
Vision Program Unload
In the Device Control Drawer
The Vision Program Unload tool unloads the program named "Program Name" from the Impact device. If
the program is not currently loaded, no action is taken.
Input Name What it is
Filename The name of the vision program file to be saved, without the file exten-
sion (.vp is added by default).
If you enter the name of an existing file, that file is overwritten.
Program Name The name of the program in the vision program file.
File Save Mode Save as XML: the file is saved in XML format
Save Compressed: the file is save in compressed binary format. This for-
mat creates smaller files which load faster on the Impact device. All files
with password protection are saved in this format.
Input Name What it is
Program Name The name of the program to be unloaded. You can view the Program
Name of currently loaded programs on the Settings tab under File Man-
ager (see “File List” on page 2-38).
