Loading and saving job definitions

To speed up the job set-up in case of follow-up inspections or inspections of the same product, you can save and load the inspection mask, the item matrix and/or the definition of special regions.

If a job has been set-up, that is, the item matrix has been positioned, the inspection mask has been created, and/or special regions have been defined, it can be saved in a user-specified file.

The saved job definitions can be loaded during the job set-up after having captured the reference image.
