Changing the program settings
There are 2 settings that you can modify:
- Enable anonymous data tracking
- 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.
