3.17. Lost lightpaths after moving config files to a different workstation, how to reassign DCAM ID

On Windows workstations:

• Select the 'Start' menu and search for 'regedit.exe'

• Launch regedit.exe

• Expand the data tree to view the Volocity user level settings, as shown below.

• Right-click on the 'Volocity' folder and select 'Export'. Chose a local directory in which to save the registry key, e.g. the Desktop

• Close regedit.exe

• Navigate to the saved registry key and open it in a text editor, e.g. notepad

• Search for the phrase 'DCAM' within the text document

• Edit the first two digits of the hex key to reassign the DCAM ID. For example, to swap the DCAM IDs of the two cameras shown below, we reassign the first two digits of their hex key

• Next, save the changes to the document and close the text editor

• To apply these new settings in Volocity, double-click on the amended registry key and select 'yes' when asked if you agree to add the key to the Windows registry
