Figure 12 Relationship between the Camera Settings Active Settings for Current Session The active setting for the current session is the set of configurations that are operating while the camera is currently running including all unsaved changes you have made to the settings before saving them These active settings are stored in the camera s volatile memory and will be lost and cannot be restored if the camera resets or if the camera is powered down or loses power To save these settings for reuse the next time you power up or reset the camera or to protect against losing them in the case of power loss you must save the current settings using the User Set Save parameter Once saved the current settings become the selected User Set User Setting The user setting is the saved set of camera configurations that you can customize resave and restore By default the user settings are shipped with the same settings as the factory set The command User Set Save saves the current settings to non volatile memory as a User Set The camera automatically restores the last saved user settings when it powers up To restore the last saved user settings select the User Set parameter you want to restore and then select the User Set Load parameter 03 032 20133 01 Teledyne DALSA Piranha4 8K Camera User s Manual 29 Factory Settings The factory setting is the camera settings that were shipped with the camera and which loaded during the camera
