PFRemote consists of a main window (Fig. 6.3) and a configuration dialog. In the main window,
the camera port can be opened or closed, and log messages are displayed at the bottom. The
configuration dialog appears as a sub window as soon as a camera port was opened
successfully. In the sub window of PFRemote the user can configure the camera properties.
The following sections describe the general structure of PFRemote.
