Device configuration and connection checks for AlphaScan S1

Knowledge Overview Definition

Choose the add-device action and open the corresponding configuration archive from the supplied USB drive; the selected configuration then appears in the installed list.

Importing the device configuration

In AlphaScan S1, open configuration management to add the device configuration.

Choose the add-device action and open the corresponding configuration archive from the supplied USB drive; the selected configuration then appears in the installed list.

Activating the configuration and checking connection

Selecting the configuration in the installed list moves it into the activated list; its presence there indicates that configuration activation succeeded.

After configuration activation, the new-project action opens the main software interface.

The camera status changing to connected after opening the project indicates that the connection has succeeded.
