Here's what the plug-in looks like upon first launch within DevWare.
The Plug-in is organized by major functional areas, each separated by a line the runs the width of the plug-in.

- In Manual mode, the slider bar allows quick movement of the actuator.
- When the slider bar indicator is selected, left and right arrow buttons will move the actuator 1 value, and page up/down move the actuator by 20 values.
- A position can be entered directly in the "Slider Pos" field, and then used with either "Return" or by selecting "Trigger".
- Sharpness score; displays the calculated sharpness score of the image - the higher the number, the more in-focus the image.
- Displayed during Manual and other actuator-moving Focus Types.
...
- Only available for Full Scan, Fast Focus, Capture Frames, and PDAF.

PDAF Calibration
Use the following instructions to calibrate DevWare processing of the PDAF data when using a PDAF-enabled module.
- Position the sensor at the distance you consider "infinite" (usually about 2 feet or so) so the lens is "in focus".
- Enable PDAF data on the sensor via the appropriate INI preset, and then open the PDAF dialog and enable "Overall Defocus Position" (blue arrow).
Also, set the "Coefficient" to -40.0 as this empirically appears to be a decent value.
- On the main image at the bottom, you should now see the position indicator bar.
The red circle indicates the current location (the green bubble) of "in focus" for the position bar, and the green circle is where you need to adjust that to (white diamond). - Using the "Offset" value in the PDAF dialog, adjust it so the green bubble in on the white diamond.
