What exactly, are parameter sets?
A parameter set comprises settings that you have made for a specific function, such as the image calibration, and which you have also saved as a file. You can create such parameter sets in a variety of dialog boxes, and when you later need them, load them again. Parameter sets can, moreover, be exported and imported, for example, to make them available to other users or other PCs on which your software has been installed.
There are several ways in which you can work with parameter sets, the possibilities are:
Overwriting, editing, or deleting a parameter set
Exporting and importing a parameter set
Saving a parameter set
The Save <Parameter Set> As dialog box can be opened from a variety of tool windows or dialog boxes. Here you can save specific settings that you've made in the active dialog box, in a parameter set. The parameter set you've saved can, at any time, be loaded and also made available to other users.
1.Make the required settings in the active dialog box, then click this 
button.
2.A dialog box for saving parameter sets opens.
2.Enter a descriptive name for the parameter set, in the Name field.
3.In the Description field, enter, if needed, a comprehensible description of the function group.
4.The Description field is not always available. This depends on which dialog box or tool window you opened the Save <parameter set> As dialog box from.
4.In the Access options, at the bottom of the dialog box, you specify whether the parameter set is to be available only to yourself, or to all of the users.
•The system is preset in such a way that a new parameter set is initially only available to the user who set it up. You recognize this status by the small icon (
) next to the name.
•Select the Public option. The parameter set can now be used by other users. You will be able to recognize this by the small icon (
) next to the parameter set's name.
5.Click the Save button to save the new parameter set.
•The parameter set will then be added to the Available <parameter sets> list.
•The Save button will remain inactive and is displayed in gray until you have made an entry in the Name field. You can leave this dialog box by clicking the Cancel button.
The Save button will become active, as soon as you've entered something in the Name field.
•The parameter sets in the Available <parameter sets> list will be arranged alphabetically.
Loading a parameter set
There are two ways in which you can load a saved parameter set, depending on which dialog box is active at the time. In some dialog boxes you will immediately find a picklist with the saved parameter sets. In some dialog boxes, you will first have to click the Load 
button to open the Load [...] dialog box containing a list of the available parameter sets.
1.Select the parameter set you want from the list, then click the Load button.
