About this topic | This topic describes what profiles are and what they do. |

Profiles defined |
|
A profile contains the initialization settings needed for communication | |
| between a device and device driver. The data in a profile is used by |
| VWorks or BenchWorks software to identify each device on the network. |
| A profile can also contain other basic settings that you are unlikely to |
| change once set up. |
| Because profiles identify device driver devices on the network, each |
| device driver device must have its own profile. |
| You can create, modify, and delete profiles as needed. |
Stored settings |
|
Profiles are stored in the Windows registry. | |
| The settings stored in a device driver profile include: |
| ❑ Whether the device is connected using serial or Ethernet |
| ❑ If the device is connected using Ethernet, the Device ID of the |
| device on the network |
| ❑ If the device is connected using serial, the COM port that the |
| controlling computer uses for communication |
| ❑ Configuration of accessories |
