4.  Adjust the required settings for acquisition. 

5.  Click on the 

New

 

Profile

 button 

.  This automatically generates a new profile name based on 

the current selected profile, appending a numeric sequence to ensure that the named profile is 
unique. If the drop-down list is empty, the profile name 

Default

 will appear. 

 

 

NOTE:

 As a best practice, ensure to rename profiles so that they have meaningful 

names. These should not include the numeric sequence that is generated 
automatically each time the profile list is loaded.  

 

Use only alpha-numeric characters, underscores, and dashes.  

 

Do not use other characters including but not limited to:~!@#$%^&*()+{}[]"'<>/,. 

 

 

NOTE:

 If an attribute or setting on the current, named profile is changed, an asterisk 

is placed to the left of the profile name next to the drop-down list. 

 

Named Profile 

– Change to profile made 

To undo these changes to the profile, select the current profile name again or select 
another saved profile from the drop-down list.  The changes will be reverted to the 
saved copy.  Alternately, clicking 

Cancel

 on the 

Edit Settings

 dialog will prevent 

these changes from being saved. 

 

6. 

Once the profile has been configured, click the 

Apply

 button or 

OK

 to save the changes.

 

For additional details on profile setup and information, refer to the 

Acquisition Profiles
