on Settings Dialog\plain\fs20\cf2 {\v Communication_Settings_Dialog}\plain\fs20 to adjust some settings related to the \uldb \cf2 Serial Port\plain\fs20\cf2 {\v LV5AJK}\plain\fs20 .
\par Once the connection has been established, you can view camera data and change some of the camera data settings with the \uldb \cf2 Camera Settings Dialog\plain\fs20\cf2 {\v ROFMV}\plain\fs20 .
