• Only the data contained in the lists displayed as "Image Setting", "Digital I/O" and "Device
Specific Data" under wxPropView (p. 77) will be stored in these settings!
• Restoring of settings previously stored works in a similar way. After a device has been opened the settings
will be loaded automatically as described above.
• A detailed description of the individual properties offered by a device will not be provided here but can be
found in the C++ API reference, where descriptions for all properties relevant for the user (grouped together in
classes sorted by topic) can be found. As wxPropView (p. 77) doesn't introduce new functionality but simply
evaluates the list of features offered by the device driver and lists them any modification made using the GUI
controls just calls the underlying function needed to write to the selected component. wxPropView (p. 77)
also doesn't know about the type of component or e.g. the list of allowed values for a property. This again is
information delivered by the driver and therefore can be queried by the user as well without the need to have
special inside information. One version of the tool will always be delivered in source so it can be used as a
reference to find out how to get the desired information from the device driver.
