About Viewer Software

How should the G-sensor be viewed? What is XYZ?

XYZ shows the numerical value of G. X shows G in front and back (+: acceleration / –: deceleration). Y shows G in right and left (+: right / –: left). Z shows G in up and down (+: up / –: down).

Is this viewer software available for Mac?

No, it is currently not available for Mac.

Is it possible to see the moving image in reproduction by the viewer software in a full screen display on a PC?
