The Preferences window gives you some useful information about the connected
device, as well as a few options for managing presets and restoring the device to
defaults�
You can check the version of the Editor you are using, as well as the firmware and
bootloader version of the connected device�
Toggle on/off tooltips as well as autohide zone background�
You can export your user presets to a .json file.
You can reset the device to default, as well as reinstall/update the firmware.
These options can be helpful if you are experiencing unusual hardware behavior,
or just want to go back to square one after making changes�
Resetting the device does not affect any adjustments made to the
sensors in the Sensor Adjustment Window�
Reinstalling/updating the firmware should not affect the presets on
the device, but we recommend backing up any important presets
as a precaution�
