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 have to be Offline to save jobs.

  • To save the current job file, with the specified filename, to the vision system's RAMDisk folder, the syntax is: TFRAMDisk/[Filename]. For example, to save the file "Test.jobx" to the vision system's RAMDisk folder, issue the following command: "TFRAMDisk/Test.jobx".
  • To save the current job file, with the specified file name, to the SD card folder of the vision system, 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 In-Sight vision system, which allows another device, such as a PLC or robot controller via the LF and TF Native Mode commands, to change jobs without specifying a location.
