Profiles 33
7.4 Export Profile
The Export Profile to File function writes a device profile in memory to a file on the computer. This function
provides a persistent backup of a device profile that can be archived for purposes of disaster recovery,
configuration change audit, multiple device configuration, etc.
7.5 Import Profile
The Import Profile from File function reads a previously exported device configuration file from the computer
and puts it in ScCMP temporary memory so it can be used to write devices or compare devices.
7.6 Compare Profiles
The Compare Profiles function does an equality comparison on two captured device profiles in ScCMP memory.
The result of the comparison will be equal, or not equal. This is helpful when keeping track of multiple device
configurations and profiles.
7.7 Generic Profiles
Generic Profiles provide the ability to write a default configuration to an SC device that is not yet configured, and
to compare an already configured SC device to verify it matches a generic configuration. The benefit of writing a
generic profile to an SC device that is not yet configured is to optimize the device configuration for specific
applications. For a typical user, without knowing all the parameters in configuring an SC device, this is a helpful
way to get started and increase performance of an SC device. Following is a summary of the supported generic
profiles.
Table 7-1. Generic Profiles
Generic Profile Description
SINGLE
This profile configures an SC device for single sensor operation. All unused sensors are disabled and all
basic features are associated with the one active load cell sensor (0).
ABC
This profile configures an SC device for dual sensor operation with a summing math sensor. All unused
sensors are disabled and all basic features are associated with the math sensor in the SC device. The
sensors are setup as follows:
• Sensor 0 is the first load cell connection.
• Sensor 1 is the second load cell connection.
• Sensor 4 is the summing (math) sensor that equals 0+1.
7.7.1 Write Generic Profile
To write a generic profile to an SC Device, select the Profile menu, then select Write Generic Profile . In the dialog that
appears, select the generic profile, then select the SC device to write the profile too.
7.7.2 Compare Device to Generic Profile
This function compares an SC device configuration against a generic profile to determine if it matches necessary
parameters. To compare a profile to an SC device, select the
Profile menu, then select Compare Device to Generic . In
the dialog that appears, select the generic profile, then select the SC device to compare the profile too. A dialog will
display the results of the comparison.
7.7.3 Compare Profile to Generic Device
This function compares a captured profile against a generic profile to determine if it matches necessary parameters.
To compare a profile to a captured profile, select the
Profile menu, then select Compare Device to Generic . In the
dialog that appears, select the generic profile, then select the captured profile to compare the generic profile too. A
dialog will display the results of the comparison.
7.8 Delete
This function will permanently delete a profile that is saved in the ScCMP profile backup database.
