5.3 J-Pad 3 Operations

1) General

J-Pad 3 is an optional remote controller useable for the Memrecam GX series. It allows you to operate

most of the functions of the camera without a control PC (GX Link).

Important: Settings in GX Link (control software) are prior to settings in the camera. Therefore, even if

you set the parameters of the camera using the J-Pad, all settings will be followed to the GX

Link settings once you connect the control PC to the camera.
