+====== Advanced Settings ======
 Advanced settings are organized into separate categories (tabs) based on hardware manufacturer name and/or capture system product name. The first tab contains common settings that affect Capture2D as a whole.
 Below all the tabs is the Save Settings button. Clicking this button displays the standard Save As dialog and allows the user to store all internal settings as an XML file on disk. Each time a recording is made in the main Capture2D window, an XML settings file is also saved along with the recorded data. An Open Settings button will be added to the Advanced dialog in a future release.
-===== Common Settings =====
+==== Common Settings ====
 Five sub-categories make up the common settings: Stream, Capture, Display, Server and Link Model.

-==== Stream ====
+=== Stream ===
 The stream settings determine how quickly the program tries to acquire new data from connected motion capture hardware.
-=== Thread priority ===
+== Thread priority ==
 Selects the execution priority for the code that acquires the data from the hardware. Possible options are: Idle, Lowest, Low, Normal, High, Highest, Critical.
-=== Thread sleep ===
+== Thread sleep ==
 Sets the number of milliseconds the Stream thread gives other processes on the computer to accomplish their tasks.
-==== Capture ====
+=== Capture ===
 The capture settings determine what happens before and after a record how graphical previews are displayed.
-=== Countdown ===
+== Countdown ==
 Sets the number of seconds for the countdown before recording starts. When only one person is available to perform the motion capture session.
-=== Beep during countdown ===
+== Beep during countdown ==
 Checked - Emits an audible beep for each second of countdown. This feature is useful for alerting the motion capture subject that recording is about to start shorly.
@@ Line 35: / Line 37: @@
 Unchecked - No sound is emitted during countdown.
-=== Update previews ===
+== Update previews ==
 Checked - Update's the graphical preview to be updated with the latest frame of data from the hardware.
@@ Line 41: / Line 43: @@
 Unchecked - No graphical preview is drawn. This feature is useful when streaming and recording huge amounts of data and computer resources are needed.
-=== Show trails ===
+== Show trails ==
 Checked - Draws a visible trail for each data element at each frame. This feature is useful when calibrating or otherwise needing to know "where" the data has been in the capture volume.
@@ Line 47: / Line 49: @@
 Unchecked - Only the latest frame of data elements is drawn. This feature is useful for reducing the visual clutter.
-=== Trails size ===
+== Trails size ==
 Sets the size, in pixels, of the trail. Larger sizes are easier to see but can clutter the display.
-=== Trails Color ===
+== Trails Color ==
 Sets the color of the trail using the standard Color Picker dialog. Setting a trail color that is different than the data or background color can help distinguish were the data has been in the past.
-=== Beep after save ===
+== Beep after save ==
 Checked - Emits an audible beep after a recording is saved to disk. This feature is useful for alerting the motion capture subject that recording was saved.

 Unchecked - No sound is emitted after a recording is saved to disk.
-==== Display ====
+=== Display ===
 The display settings determine how the overall program interface is presented and what the user sees in the graphical previews.
-=== Application text size ===
+== Application text size ==
 Sets the font point size of textual information displayed throughout the Capture2D interface. It may be helpful to set a large point size when working in a large room where subjects and other onlookers will be far from the display terminal or screen.
-=== Preview update rate ===
+== Preview update rate ==
 Sets the rate at which the graphical preview displays are redrawn. This is separate and different from how quickly the stream thread acquires data from the hardware. A faster preview update rate will produced smoother graphics but use more computer resources.
-=== 2D Appearance ===
+== 2D Appearance ==
 Sets the colors of the 2-D preview displays (background color, data color, etc.) using the standard Color Picker dialog. A variety of useful effects can be accomplished with various color settings.
-=== 3D Appearance ===
+== 3D Appearance ==
 Sets the colors of the 3-D preview displays (background color, data color, etc.) using the standard Color Picker dialog. A variety of useful effects can be accomplished with various color settings.
-==== Server ====
+=== Server ===
 The server settings determine how data streamed into Capture2D from motion caption hardware is then served out to other programs (clients) over the internet.
-=== Start UDP Server ===
+== Start UDP Server ==
 Starts and stops the UDP server.
-=== Target IP ===
+== Target IP ==
 Sets a new target IP address to add to the list of UDP clients.
-=== Target Port ===
+== Target Port ==
 Sets a new target port number to add to the list of UDP clients.
-=== Add UDP Target ===
+== Add UDP Target ==
 Adds the entered IP and port to the list of know UDP targets.
-=== Targets ===
+== Targets ==
 Displays a list of client target IP and port numbers.
-=== Clear All UDP Targets ===
+== Clear All UDP Targets ==
 Removes all client IP and port numbers from the list.
-==== Link Model ====
+=== Link Model ===
 The link model settings determine how segments are computed and served.
-=== Open ===
+== Open ==
 Selects the XML link model template to apply to the streamed data.
-=== Stream to server ===
+== Stream to server ==
 Checked - an XML linked model of segments is computed and served over the internet along with data.

-===== NaturalPoint =====
+==== NaturalPoint ====
 Capture2D supports NaturalPoint V100:R1 and V100:R2 camera systems and OptiHub and requires USB drivers, available from [[[http://www.NaturalPoint.com/|NaturalPoint's website]]]. The OptiHub provides basic synchronization features.

-==== Pulse Mode ====
+=== Pulse Mode ===
 Off - no external sync pulses are sent from the OptiHub, even when the cameras are connected and streaming.
@@ Line 139: / Line 141: @@
 On during recording - sync pulses are only sent from the OptiHub when Capture2D is recording.
-==== Pulse Phase ====

 In phase - No global offset is applied.
@@ Line 145: / Line 147: @@
 Delayed by global offset - Controls the delay between any of the chosen sync input sources and when the cameras are actually told to trigger (i.e. expose a frame). Units is in us. Valid Range: 0 – 65,862 us.
-==== Pulse Duration ====
+=== Pulse Duration ===
 Exposure time - External sync output signal is asserted when the IR-strobes are turned on, which is concurrent with when the sensors are exposed. The signal is asserted for as long as the strobe is on (and the imager is exposing).
@@ Line 155: / Line 157: @@
 Recording pulse - Like Exposure Time, except pulses are issued only when the application is recording, and idle when recording is stopped.
