Store File

Saves the current job in the flash memory on the In-Sight vision system, the RAM Disk, or the SD card.

Note:
  • If you check the Allow Online Job Save checkbox, users with Full or Protected access have permission to save jobs while Online. If you uncheck the Allow Online Job Save checkbox, the vision system must be Offline to save jobs.

  • To save the current job file to the RAMDisk folder of the In-Sight vision system with the specified filename, the syntax is: TFRAMDisk/[Filename]. For example, to save the file Test.jobx to the RAMDisk folder of the vision system, issue the following command: TFRAMDisk/Test.jobx.
  • To save the current job file to the SD card folder of the vision system with the specified filename, the syntax is TFSDCARD/[Filename]. For example, to save the file Test.jobx stored to the SD card folder of the vision system, perform the following command: TFSDCARD/Test.jobx.
  • The Job Server Settings dialog is used to configure an FTP server that will host In-Sight job files for the vision system, which allows another device, such as a PLC or robot controller through the LF and TF Native Mode commands, to change jobs without specifying a location.
