Settings can be stored in several ways (via the "Menu Bar": "Action -> Capture Settings -> Save"):
• "As Default Settings For All Devices Belonging To The Same Family (Per User Only)": As the start-up param-
eters for every device belonging to the same family, e.g. for mvBlueCOUGAR-X, mvBlueCOUGAR-XD.
• "As Default Settings For All Devices Belonging To The Same Family And Product Type": As the start-up
parameters for every device belonging to the same product, e.g. for any mvBlueCOUGAR-X but not for
mvBlueCOUGAR-XD.
• "As Default Settings For This Device(Serial Number)": As the start-up parameters for the currently selected
device.
• "To A File": As an XML file that can be used e.g. to transport a setting from one machine to another or even
to use the settings configured for one platform on another (Windows <-> Linux).
During the startup of a device, all these setting possibilities show different behaviors. The differences are described
in chapter Settings behaviour during startup (p. 51)
Restoring of settings previously stored works in a similar way. After a device has been opened the settings will be
loaded automatically as described in Settings behaviour during startup (p. 51)
However, at runtime the user can decide to
• explicitly load the device family specific settings stored on this machine (in e.g. wxPropView (p. 74) select
in the "Menu Bar": "Action -> Capture Settings -> Load -> From The Default Settings Location For This
Devices Family (Per User Only)")
• explicitly load the product specific settings stored on this machine (in e.g. wxPropView (p. 74) select in the
"Menu Bar": "Action -> Capture Settings -> Load -> From The Default Settings Location For This Devices
Family And Product Type)")
• explicitly load the device specific settings stored on this machine (in e.g. wxPropView (p. 74) select in the
"Menu Bar": "Action -> Capture Settings -> Load -> From The Default Settings Location For This Device(←-
Serial Number)")
• explicitly load device family specific settings from a XML file previously created in e.g. wxPropView (p. 74)
select in the "Menu Bar": "Action -> Capture Settings -> Load -> From A File"
Warning
Since mvIMPACT Acquire 2.9.0 GenICam devices will be able to save their properties in a XML File, only
if the properties have the streamable attribute set (for more information refer to the GenICam standard
specification). Properties with no streamable attribute set, will be silently ignored when saving, which
means they will not be saved in the XML file. For MATRIX VISION GenICam cameras, starting with firmware
version 1.6.414 the streamable attribute is set for all the necessary properties.
Warning
Since mvIMPACT Acquire 2.9.0 and again in version 2.11.0 storing and loading of camera settings in a XML
file for the GenICam (p. 155) interface layout has been updated. As a result XML files created with newer
versions of mvIMPACT Acquire might not be readable on systems with older version of mvIMPACT Acquire
installed. XML files created on systems with earlier versions of mvIMPACT Acquire will always be readable
this or newer versions. See the following table for details.
