7.2.3 Changing the Joystick TV Angle
In TV mode (chamberscope), it can occur that dual joystick and stage seem to move to opposite
directions. This is because the selected CCD camera is installed at a certain angle relative to the
stage. Thus, the camera shows a side-inverted view. To remedy this, you need to change the joy-
stick TV angle setting in the software.
