Yeah, the GUI screen is rotated 180 degrees. The camera tracks fine anyway.

Is this correct or not? Also the color numbers I have come up with are green 49, yellow 24, red 118, red is iffy it does not find it all time, still have to play with numbers.
Red is almost impossible with the mercury vapor lighting at our shop. We have managed to get it to calibrate once, though it has never tracked at all. Since there's no reason for us to seek out red, we're not worried about it. It tracks vision tetra green like a champ.

(Or it used to -- the electrical team tells me they let out the camera's magic smoke after they wired a connector backwards.)
