# The default FOV is 55 so calculate how much larger you want to go and times that by 100. For example if you wanted the FOV to be 90 you need to increase the FOV by 35 (55 + 35 = 90). So the value of fovAdjust_h2041137991 would be 3500 (35 * 100).
 
# Set the value, make sure the radio button beside Decimal is selected and click OK
