commands sent to or received from the camera. User can type in

the polling commands (such as Frame Time, Exposure time,
Frame Rate and Sensor Temperature) in the dialog windows.
The user can change the polling time by entering the desired
number in the window. If for some reason the camera returns an
error, when command was sent to the camera, the GUI will
respond with a pop-up window displaying an error message.
The user has option to disable the error checking by enabling
