screen, such as locations, sizes, shapes, and properties, but does not contain any measurements. A
template is saved whenever a job is saved.
A template is meant to be used as a starting point in creating a new job when the same views are used
for many jobs. You can then “fill” the template with measurements and configuration settings. Several
application-specific templates are installed with EasyMatch QC. These templates provide a starting
point for new jobs.
To set up a template, you will need to complete the following tasks:
1. Open a new job.
2. Configure the desired data views. This includes setting the location, size, shape, and properties of
each view on the screen.
3. Configure the desired options you wish to use for this template using the Options menu.
4. Save the job as a template using the Save Job Template As command in the File menu. The
extension for a template is .JTP.
More instructions on creating and working with templates are provided in Lesson 1 in the next chapter.
Whenever you want to use a template to create a new job, simply choose the Open Job Template
command from the File menu, choose the desired template from the list of available templates, fill the
template with your measurements, and save it as a job.
To apply a template to an existing job, choose the Apply Template to Job command from the File
menu and the configuration of the job screen will adjust to match the template while retaining the
measurements.
