Box 4 of our PC's does not keep camera settings when you manually update them. Error log below appeared once, but not consistently (even though error is consistent over multiple attempts). Camera settings revert to a over-exposed default where flies cannot be tracked well

*update, upon restarting margo, camera settings now retain manual adjustment.
am keeping this post in case error_log is useful for other issues per Box 4, since still cannot get adequate tracking on flies

I'm wondering if the camera got disconnected here. Margo doesn't really save the camera's settings. It reads the current values off of the camera when it boots up. Margo doesn't do much but write new property values to the camera if you ask it to. If the camera's settings are changed somehow (e.g. the camera loses connectivity and resets, windows re-detects the device, or the settings are changed elsewhere), Margo doesn't have much insight into that. That being said, I'm again seeing:

Error using undistortImage>parseInputs (line 112)
Expected Image to be nonempty.

That makes me suspicious that the camera is dropping frames or losing connectivity.
