Corrected field of view max/min values in GUI.

v3.7.7.0
Enable SLAM data collection (requires Rock Cloud SLAM subscription)
Setting a project name on the Status page
Altering field of view in the Geometry tab

Before this release if you wanted to limit the laser’s field of view you were required to update the setting when processing in PCMaster (see Cloud Filters). You can now set this within the GUI of the LiDAR. You may want to do this if you use the soon to be released “batch processor” tool.

This setting will ultimately speed up processing with PCMaster.
