17.1 Vision Backup Tool Ver. 2
The Vision Backup Tool Ver. 2 (VBT Ver. 2) connects to a computer with a serial cable,
and makes it possible to download and upload, as well as copy or delete product types,
environments, and image data stored in the Imagechecker from a computer.

Communications environment settings on the Imagechecker side are set under the
communications settings on the Environment menu. Set the communications
environment as follows:
Communications mode:

Baud rate:

Activation conditions
The conditions under which VBT Ver. 2 (Vision Backup Tool Ver. 2) will operate are
basically shown in "A: Start". It can only be used when product type switching from an
external device is possible, that is, under the following conditions:
− Under main menu conditions
− When the checker list is displayed
− When spreadsheets are displayed
However, if you enter spreadsheets or numerical calculations/judgment output from the
menu, "A: Start" will start, and you will not be able to enter VBT Ver. 2 mode.
Transmission data
Data that can be transmitted with VBT Ver. 2 are as follows:
− Product type data (by product type or all together)
− Environment data (settings on the Environment menu)
− Hide Settings information
− Save Image Data (single screen units)
− Dictionary Data
Operations
The transfer to VBT Ver. 2 mode is conducted entirely at the computer. If you shift to
VBT Ver. 2 mode, the menu disappears, and the READY signal goes OFF.
See the computer's VBT Ver. 2 Help for additional information.
