46 -The next step once the COM port has been selected is to scan the port. The software can send commands to (and listen for a reply from) all servo IDs (0 to 250) at all standard baud rates on the selected COM port. In the pop-up, select the baud rates which you would like to scan. You press the **ALL** button to select all baud rates, press the individual check boxes to toggle each select or press the **<<** button to select only the corresponding baud rate, deselecting all others. You may also limit the IDs to scan for. When in doubt, leave all baud rates selected.

48 48  Once you press OK, the scan will start by turning off the LED of all servos on the selected baud rates (#254LED0\r). Then, each selected baud rate is scanned for servos. The command line interface will include messages for all servos found (or not found) at each baud rate, as well as any conflicts discovered (two or more LSS at the same location). In this case, a location is defined as a baud rate and ID pair.

111 -To change a value, simple use the left mouse button to hold and drag the relevant caret around its ring. Letting go of the left mouse button will update the value right away. While holding the left mouse button you can also press the right mouse button to cancel the current change to that caret (happens after right mouse click and then letting go of the left mouse button).

113 -If the caret moved is position, this will send a position command in tenths of degrees right away to the servo (#[id]D[pos]\r).
114 -If the caret moved is first position, offset or angular range then it will update the appropiate configuration (see below for details), pending an update confirmation.
115 -The speed caret cannot be moved directly; it only serves only as a display of the current speed.
