QuVIS Acuity User Manual - Configuring Acuity Overview
Configuring Acuity overview
When you change a setting on the GUI, it remains intact until Acuity is restarted, after which it will restore the
previous setting. The QuVIS Acuity uses configuration (config) files to retain settings between sessions. A custom
group of settings may be automatically applied each time the Acuity is powered on by assigning a default startup
config file. Refer to
Set the Default Startup Config File
for more details.
Acuity config files provide the flexibility to store multiple groups of custom configuration settings that may be quickly
loaded for specialized applications. You can save any number of uniquely named custom config files. By loading a
custom config file you can modify all of the menu page settings at once according to the values in the file. Refer to
sections
Save current settings to a config file
and
Load custom settings from a config file
for more details.
Set the Default Startup Config File
The Acuity can load a specific set of custom settings from a configuration file each time the unit is powered on. If
you do not set the default startup config file, the Acuity will load factory settings as defined in the read-only
factory.cfg config file. All configuration files are stored in the “user/cfg” directory on the primary system volume. Use
the following procedure to set the default configuration file to be loaded at startup.
Note: To set the default startup config file, a custom config file must have been previously created.
1.
Navigate to the Setup Config menu page and click on the Default startup config file option.
TIP: If the same settings are to be used by multiple Acuity’s, you may save a custom config file on one machine
and then copy it to the other machines using an FTP client. You must however, set the default startup config file
on each Acuity separately.
2.
Use the middle touchpad button to select/highlight the config file that will be loaded each time the QuVIS Acuity
is powered on. The path in the file browser popup window is automatically set to the appropriate directory
where all config files are stored (/user/cfg).
