      Logging data with DevoVision App

      Changing the program settings

      There are 2 settings that you can modify:

      2. Run application on public network

      The first setting will allow 3devo to gather anonymous data statistics which will help us improve the app. The other option will let you acces the active DevoVision app though another computer on the same network. The red “restart” button will restart the application.
