Refreshing performance can also be influenced, i.e. whether or not camera images and parameters are cycli-
cally taken from the sensor (run mode), or if the refresh process is suspended (edit mode). The camera image
is refreshed cyclically in the run mode. No parameter changes are possible in this mode. You can switch back
and forth between the two modes by simultaneously pressing the space key and the run mode / edit mode
button.
Parameters can be changed in the edit mode, during which refreshing of the camera image is interrupted –
camera images are not cyclically loaded from the sensor as is the case with the run mode. Each time a param-
eter is changed, the current camera image is loaded from the sensor.
