Component Path Description
information, see Configuration below.
Transform transform.xml
Transformation values. Present only if Alignment Reference is set to
Dynamic. For more information, see Transform on page 566.
Part model <name>.mdl
One or more part model files. Part models are created using models
and part matching. For more information, see Part Models on page
567.
Elements in the components contain three types of values: settings, constraints, and properties. Settings
are input values that can be edited. Constraints are read-only limits that define the valid values for
settings. Properties are read-only values that provide supplemental information related to sensor setup.
When a job file is received from a sensor, it will contain settings, constraints, and properties. When a job
file is sent to a sensor, any constraints or properties in the file will be ignored.
Changing the value of a setting can affect multiple constraints and properties. After you upload a job file,
you can download the job file again to access the updated values of the constraints and properties.
Accessing Files and Components
Job file components can be accessed individually as XMLfiles using path notation. For example, the
configurations in a user-created job file called productionRun01.job can be read by passing
“productionRun01.job/config.xml” to the Read File command. In the same way, the configurations in the
active job could be read using "_live.job/config.xml".
If Alignment Reference is set to Fixed, the active job file (_live.job)will not contain
transformations. To access transformations in this case, you must access them via _live.tfm.
The following sections correspond to the XMLstructure used in job file components.
Configuration
The Configuration component of a job file contains settings that control how a Gocator sensor behaves.
You can access the Configuration component of the active job as an XMLfile, either using path notation,
via "_live.job/config.xml", or directly via "_live.cfg".
You can access the Configuration component in user-created job files in non-volatile storage, for
example, "productionRun01.job/config.xml". You can only access configurations in user-created job files
using path notation.
See the following sections for the elements contained in this component.
All Gocator sensors share a common job file structure and settings for all features are included in job
files, regardless of the model.
If a setting in a job file is not used by a sensor, the setting's used property is set to 0.
