6.12.2 “Activating” a User Set File or the Factory Set
File
As explained on page 149 , a factory configuration set containing an optimized set of parameters is
created when the camera is manufactured. The factory set is saved in a permanent file in the
camera’s non-volatile memory.
As explained on page 151 , you can also save up to four different "user" configuration sets to files
in the camera’s non-volatile memory.
Assuming that you have saved one or more user set files, you can choose to make one of the saved
user set files or the factory set file the “activated” file. When you activate a file, two things happen:
„
The values from the activated file are immediately copied into the work set in the camera’s
volatile memory. The camera will now actively use the configuration values that were copied
into the work set.
„
A link is created between the activated file and the camera’s volatile memory. The values in the
activated file will automatically be copied into the work set whenever the camera is powered up
or reset. (Assume, for example, that the UserSet01 file is the activated file. In this case, when
the camera is powered on or reset, the values from the UserSet01 file will be copied into the
volatile memory of the camera and will be the actively used parameter settings.)
You can activate a saved user set file or the factory set file by using the Camera Configuration Tool
Plus (CCT+) or by using binary read/write commands from within your own application to set the
camera’s bulk data control and status registers (CSRs).
With the CCT+
With the CCT+ (see Section 7.1 on page 156 ), you use the File Name Select parameter and the
Activate button in the User Set Files parameters group to activate a saved user set file or the factory
set file.
By Setting CSRs
You can activate a saved user set file or the factory set file by writing values to the bulk data CSR
for configuration sets. The bulk data “activate” process is used to activate a stored file.
Section 7.2.3 on page 188 explains bulk data CSRs and using the bulk data activate process.
Section 7.3.1 on page 197 explains using read/write commands.
