Each reader can store its current set of run-time parameters to a coniguration
(.cfg) ile, which contains information such as the enabled symbologies and
how any output data should be formatted.
The same coniguration ile can be loaded onto multiple readers, as the ile
does not contain identiication information such as the IP address or device
name of the reader used to create it.
A reader can also generate a Cognex device coniguration (.cdc) ile, which
stores the set of run-time parameters plus any identiication data, such as
the name of the device, its IP address, subnet mask, and so on. Cognex
recommends generating a device coniguration ile for each reader to allow you
to restore a reader to its operating state with minimal effort.
