# What options are available under Configuration?

Configuration allows for the set up of data acquisition of RTM Lean along with other settings:

Device Configurations: Select a device that is the subject of data acquisition. Add devices to the list using the Add Device button. This opens a new window, where you can manually add devices based on IP using the Add Network Device button. The Refresh button can be used to refresh the list of devices, while the Remove Manually Added Device button removes the selected device from the list. Remove Device allows you to remove a device from the list of added devices, but as the pop-up warning warns, this entails the complete purging of collected data (images, statistics, and so on) for that device. Password-protected devices can be monitored by RTM Lean, but you need to provide the user name and password under Network.

Data Collection: The list includes all the types of information that RTM Lean can collect. Tick the checkboxes to collect the desired data. By default, RTM Lean collects statistical data (Read Rate, NoRead count, average decode time, trigger count, trigger overrun, buffer overflow, and process control metrics, if enabled on the device). The data types provided in the list are not among the default collected data and they can be set in the Settings tab:

- Detailed Trigger Information for NoReads: If enabled, RTM Lean stores individual trigger data when a NoRead occurs. If the NoRead contains partial results or Multi-Reader Sync information, these are also stored.

- NoRead Images (via FTP): If enabled, the device sends the NoRead image(s) to RTM Lean.

- Detailed Trigger Information Good Reads: This setting enables the use of the Trigger Performance page under Detailed Views on the ribbon menu. Trigger Performance collects data for individual triggers that result in a good read. All the values of this data can be viewed in the Plotted Values drop-down menu on the Trigger Performance page.

- Code Positions for Heat Map: For each successful read, RTM Lean stores the rectangles for each found code. This information is then used to create a 2D heat-map showing where codes were read in the Field of View.

- Device Configuration Changes: When checked, the device notifies RTM Lean whenever its configuration changes. All configuration files sent by the device are stored by RTM Lean. Configuration change events are shown on the Events History page, where they can be exported or compared.

Note that depending on trigger frequency, enabling trigger-level data may slow down the system.

Classification: The RTM Controller can collect classification data based on the reasons for NoRead events if a Cognex In-Sight device is paired with the DataMan device. An In-Sight device must be specified for the classification to work by ticking the Collect Image Classifications from InSight box and selecting the Classificator Device from the drop-down list. To store classification images, tick the Store InSight Images to RTM box.

Note that depending on your trigger configuration and the frequency of NoRead images, storing images can increase the disk usage significantly.

Do not Overwrite Communication Script in DataMan: Tick this box to prevent overwriting the script in the device.

Network: This pane displays the name and address of the device that is being actively monitored by RTM Lean (Collection Enabled is checked on the left). Clicking the cogwheel icon opens a sub-menu that allows you to determine how RTM Lean identifies a device (IP address or MAC address). If you want to collect data from a password-protected device, you must provide the user name and password after selecting the device for monitoring from the list on the left.
