  * **Document folder:** This is the path where PixyMon saves [[wiki:v1:How_to_Grab_a_Frame|grabbed images]] as well as its configuration (config.xml).

  * **Pixy start command:** This is the command that PixyMon sends to Pixy when Pixy is first plugged into your computer via USB or when PixyMon is first run. The default command "runprogArg 8 1" puts Pixy in cooked mode (not a very intuitive command...) You can change this if you want to go into, say, raw video ("runprog 8") or if you want to stay in the default program (no command).

  * **Highlight overexposure:** Pixy needs to get the correct exposure setting, or its images won't contain enough dynamic range, and detection accuracy will suffer. When enabling **Highlight overexposure,** PixyMon will highlight regions of the image that are overexposed by showing them as black pixels. You can adjust the exposure by adjusting the **Camera Brightness** setting in the [[wiki:v1:Signature_Tuning_Pane|Signature Tuning]] tab. There is more detailed information [[wiki:v1:Some_Tips_on_Generating_Color_Signatures_2|here]].

  * **Debug:** Setting this to 1 or higher will enable debug messages for PixyMon.

  * **Cooked render mode:** There are a couple of ways for PixyMon to render cooked mode. Hover your mouse over this parameter to see which rendering options are available.
