DeviceConfigure is mainly meant to update the firmware of Balluff devices and to configure the log-output of the Impact Acquire driver stack. Apart from that this tool can

display a list of all devices connected to the system that have a matching Impact Acquire driver installed
register/unregister devices for the usage with DirectShow™ applications (Windows® only)
activate/deactivate CPU sleep states of the CPU (Windows only, up to Windows 7)
assign unique IDs to mvBlueFOX-1xx/mvBlueFOX-2xx devices
reserve system wide DMA memory for mvHYPERION frame grabber devices

Note

GigE Vision™ devices:

macOS: The app DeviceConfigure.app in "~/ImpactAcquire/bin" does not use the correct environment, so a double-click on the app will not find any GigE Vision™ devices. To start DeviceConfigure with the correct environment, start the shell script startDeviceConfigure.sh in "~/ImpactAcquire".
Windows®: Given that during the start DeviceConfigure searches the network for GigE Vision™ devices, it could be possible that - depending on the Windows® firewall settings - a Windows security alert appears. Please click on "Unblock" or "Allow Access" depending on the version of Windows you are working with so that the program works properly.

Various things can also be done without user interaction (e.g. updating the firmware of a device). To find out how to do this please refer to the Command-line Interface section

Pressing F1 will also display a detailed list of the Command-line Interface available as well as keyboard shortcuts and some other useful information!
