File Access Control Category

The File Access control in CamExpert allows the user to quickly upload and download various data
files to/from the connected the camera. The supported data files for the camera include firmware

updates and Flat Field coefficients.

Note that the communication performance when reading and writing large files can be improved by

stopping image acquisition during the transfer.
