Hikrobot Machine Vision Software User Manual
Chapter 3 Menu Bar
The menu bar provides functionality such as saving and opening project file, setting
display mode, software settings, tools (e.g., IP configurator and firmware updater),
language settings, as well information of the Software and the user manual.
3.1 File
The File sub-menu provides functionality related to project file, functionality for opening
local files, as well as the functionality for exiting from the Software. Project file is useful if
you need to switch global camera settings in different scenarios. You can save the current
settings of all the connected cameras as a project file (format: mcfg) to the local PC, after
which you can fast restore the settings of the same connected cameras by opening the
saved project file.
Note
● When you save cameras' settings as a project file, the serial No. of the cameras are
saved as well.
● Network exception, GenICam error, or failure of exporting features will cause saving
failure.
● Only the feature settings of the CONNECTED cameras can be saved.
Save Project File for the First Time
For the first time saving, you need to select a saving path as the default saving path for
project file, so next time you can skip the step for selecting saving path and save the
project file in the default path directly.
Click on the control toolbar or click File → Save to open the Save Project File window,
and then select a saving path as the default saving path for project files, and finally click
Save.
Note
You can click View on the prompt popped up when saving completes to go to the saving
path of the project file.
Save Project File in Custom Saving Path
After the first project file being saved in the default saving path, the function of saving in
custom path will be available.
Click on the control toolbar or click File → Save as to open the Save Project File
window, and then select a custom saving path, and finally click Save.
