Gocator Line Profile Sensors: User Manual
Gocator Device Files • 357
Component Path Description
Configuration config.xml The job's configurations. This component is always present.
Transform transform.xml
Transformation values. Present only if Alignment Reference is set to
Dynamic.
Part model <name>.mdl
One or more part model files. Part models are created using models
and part matching.
Job File Components
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.
All Gocator sensors share a common job file structure.
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.
