Running BZP-100

Note
Since this program is always able to change the
settings on any of the connected devices, be careful
to avoid inadvertent operation while on the air.
BZP-100 provides immediate control of camera and
control unit parameters from the personal computer.
The adjustments are made "live": that is, as you
change a setting on the computer, this is immediately
reflected in the state of the camera or control unit.
Important
Once you have started the BZP-100 software, do not
change the hardware configuration.
Before making any hardware connections or
disconnections, exit BZP-100. After reconfiguring the
hardware, start BZP-100 again to ensure that it reads
the configuration information correctly.
