Detailed Description

Reads and restores configuration data from persistence files.

Restore the state of the system.

Remarks: This class provides methods to load configuration data and restore it to devices, streams, parameter arrays, and property lists.

See PvConfigurationWriter.

To load your GigE Vision or USB3 Vision device controller (PvDevice object) or stream controller (PvStream object) state from disk:

Create a configuration reader.
Load the file from disk. Use Load.
Get the number of configurations.
Optionally, test for the name of a configuration.
Apply a configuration to an object.

Note: If the device controller (PvDevice object) isn't connected to the GigE Vision or USB3 Vision device, it attempts to connect (as if calling PvDevice::Connect). If already connected, the settings are applied without changing the IP address and related information. The same applies to a PvStream that is already opened.

For a simple example illustrating how to use PvConfigurationWriter to store a configuration and PvConfigurationReader to retrieve it, refer to the sample entitled ConfigurationReader.
