-If you're running PixyMon, you can run the demo (or any other program) at any time by selecting it in the **Action** menu. In particular, select **Action➜Run the pan/tilt demo**.
+If you're running PixyMon, you can run the demo (or any other program) at any time by selecting it in the **Program** menu. In particular, select **Program➜pan\_tilt\_demo**.

+Pixy should then track your object and plot the detected objects in the video window. Yay!  Note, Pixymon will switch to a block-only view, so the video window will turn black except for what Pixy is detecting (shown as rectangular blocks).  The pan-tilt demo switches to this view because it allows Pixy to process at maximum framerate (doesn't slow Pixy down.)

-From PixyMon, you can also play with the pan/tilt demo parameters:
+For example, try reducing the Pan P gain (pan axis proportional gain) to 100 and see how the pan axis slows down. Or increase the P gain and see what happens. Many times, increasing the gains results in some erratic behavior, but don't worry -- you won't damage anything. If you want to go back to the default values select **File➜Restore default parameters**. There is more information [[wiki:v2:Pantilt_Demo_Pane|here]].
