About user-defined links
To display user-defined links in the live view window, select the Show custom link option, give the link a name and then enter the
URL to link to. When defining a web link do not remove the 'http://' from the URL address. Custom links can be used to run scripts or
activate external devices connected to the product, or they can link to a web page. Custom links defined as cgi links will run the
script in the background, in a hidden frame. Defining the link as a web link will open the link in a new window.
