# Edit Deployment Target

The Edit Deployment Target option is used to determine the type of runtime device for the ViDi workspace, and how the workspace should be optimized. By default, a PC is selected.

When set to CIE1, you must be connected to a supported Cognex inference engine device.

Note:

Changing to the CIE1 target will also affect parameter values in the workspace. There are certain restrictions when deployed on a Cognex inference engine target.

###### Workspace compatibility with a CIE1 target

- Images: Images must have an 8-bit bit depth, and a size that is less than 3500 pixels in either direction.

- Various parameter settings are affected, as detailed in the following table:

  Parameter Settings | Notes
  --- | ---
  Internal tool parameters | There are certain non-published tool parameters which will be set to specific values when a CIE1 target is enabled. If you have a previously created workspace, and change the deployment target to CIE1, you will be prompted to have these parameter settings updated. If you set the deployment target to CIE1 and create a new workspace, the tool parameter values will automatically be adjusted at the creation of the workspace.
  Color | The CIE1 target only supports 1 or 3 color channels.
  Network Model | The CIE1 target only supports the default value, Large.
  Masking Mode | The CIE1 target only supports the Transparent setting.
  Capacity | The CIE1 target does not support the Tiny setting.
  Use Baseline | Not supported.
  Centered | Not supported.
  Low Precision | Not supported.
  Iterations | The CIE1 target only supports a setting of 1.
  Legacy Mode | Not supported.
