About profiles
Introduction
This topic gives general information about working with profiles. You
will need to select a suitable profile every time you turn on the VCode.
Profiles defined
Profiles are a common feature of Velocity11 ® software.
A profile is a saved collection of basic settings that, once set up, you are
unlikely to want to change for a particular VCode.
Every profile includes communication settings that associate the profile
with a particular VCode. If you have more than one VCode on a
network, each must have its own profile. This is how the software is able
to communicate with a particular VCode. Communication to a VCode is
established when its profile is opened.
You can create, modify and delete profiles as you need to.
Stored settings
The settings stored in a VCode profile include:
❑ The identity of the VCode, to differentiate it from other VCodes
connected to your controlling computer
❑ Whether the VCode is connected using serial or Ethernet
❑ If the VCode is connected using Ethernet, the Device Id of the
VCode on the network
❑ If the VCode is connected using serial, the COM port of the VCode
on the network
