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