GigE Network Configuration

Getting Started with Visionscape GigE Cameras
running the other three lines. This is theoretically possible with multiple
GigE systems.
How do you do this? By making some relatively simple changes to the
dm.config file. Start by quitting FrontRunner and the Backplane.
Taking our two camera file as a starting point, we are going to duplicate
the GigEVision1 device as follows. (Only the device part of the file is
shown here):
<Devices>
<Device name="GigEVision1" devClass="GigE">
<Assignments>
<Assignment type="ACQ" uid="94d2afa3-95bb-4e6d-83bd-
098e5ed439d2" />
<Assignment type="ACQ" uid="189b1b90-624b-4eec-b282-
839558dc0f6c" />
</Assignments>
</Device>
<Device name="SoftSys1" devClass="Software" />
</Devices>
Copy everything for the first device and paste it immediately above the
SoftSys1 device as follows:
<Devices>
<Device name="GigEVision1" devClass="GigE">
<Assignments>
<Assignment type="ACQ" uid="94d2afa3-95bb-4e6d-83bd-
098e5ed439d2" />
<Assignment type="ACQ" uid="189b1b90-624b-4eec-b282-
839558dc0f6c" />
</Assignments>
</Device>
<Device name="GigEVision1" devClass="GigE">
<Assignments>
<Assignment type="ACQ" uid="94d2afa3-95bb-4e6d-83bd-
098e5ed439d2" />
<Assignment type="ACQ" uid="189b1b90-624b-4eec-b282-
839558dc0f6c" />
</Assignments>
</Device>
<Device name="SoftSys1" devClass="Software" />
</Devices>
Now delete one uid from each of the two devices and rename the second
one:
<Devices>
<Device name="GigEVision1" devClass="GigE">
<Assignments>
<Assignment type="ACQ" uid="94d2afa3-95bb-4e6d-83bd-
098e5ed439d2" />
</Assignments>
