How to use the parameter list found on devices.skaarhoj.com 

 In this example our goal is: Determine what parameters can be controlled for the RED Komodo camera

 Search for RED or Komodo to find the coremanual with all the parameters  

 

 

 

 Click the "parameter list"  

 

 In the new window you can see a table with different columns. The first is Parameter, and contains the specific functions that can be controlled in this core. The next columns is for models supported in this devicecore. In our instance its 2 different cameras, the Komodo and V-Raptor.
