Getting Started with Visionscape GigE Cameras
How to Modify the dm.config File to Change Camera and
System Assignments
Explaining and Modifying the dm.config file
The first time you plug a Microscan GigE camera into a PC and start
FrontRunner, a new file is created. This file is called
dm.config
and it can
be found in the
C:\Vscape\DM
directory. DM stands for Device Manager,
and this file is intended to manage all GigE devices attached to the PC.
Assuming you have a single GigE camera, the dm.config file will look
similar to that shown below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<DMConfiguration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-
instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
