 This dialog can be used to load or save the current state of the sensor registers and color pipe settings. This information is stored within an .ini file which is loaded for each version of the sensor. For example, the file for the MT9V112 REV3 AR0544CS-REV1 would be located in C:\Aptina Imaging\apps_data\MT9V112AR0544CS-REV3REV1.ini.

All sensors have a 'Demo Initialization' preset. Bayer Sensors typically have a 'Color Processing ON' and 'Color Processing OFF' Preset as well.
INI files are plain text and can be edited by the user. See the INI File Users's Guide for more information about ini files and the command syntax.
Save Options:
The Save Options sub-dialog allows software settings and/or specific groupings of registers to be savedby the user.

See the INI File Users Guide for more information about ini files and the command syntax.
