    4. Setup Menu The setup menu is where you can adjust power feedback, Com Mode, Backlash compensation, and Controller input. “Power Feedback” will allow you to adjust the motor output power during auto calibration. Some lenses require more force to move the lens rings than others. If the motor power is set too low, then the motor will not have enough force to push the lens gear to its limits, and result in incorrect calibration.

    5. System Menu The system menu is where you can monitor battery output, as well as adjust screen brightness, toggle LED’s on/off, or reset all parameters if needed. If screen brightness is adjust to 100, it will enter “daylight mode”, which will change the color scheme to be more visible in extreme brightness.
