 Each half module has 2 parallel UDP ports for 2 chips each. The left UDP port is configured with ``udp_dstport``, while the right UDP port is configured with ``udp_dstport2``. This is vice versa for the bottom half module.

+Pixel width
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The pixel width can be configured to 4, 8, 16 (default) or 32 bits using the command ``dr``. This affects image size per UDP port or file.
+
+Flip rows
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+One can use the command ``fliprows`` along with a ``true`` to flip the rows vertically for the bottom or top half module. It is sent out to the reciever, but does not flip rows in the output file itself, but rather streams out this info via the json header and thus instructs the GUI to display them correctly.
+
+Reducing network load
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+**Activate**: By default, the ``hostname`` command activates the half module, and therefore, all UDP ports are enabled. One can deactivate a whole half module (ie. 2 UDP ports) using command  ``activate`` with the ``false`` argument. This will disable both UDP ports of the half module and no data will be transmitted from it.
+
+
+**Datastream**: The ``datastream`` command with arguments ``left`` or ``right``, along with ``false`` can be used to disable the data streaming from one or all of the two UDP ports in a half module. This allows for more flexible configurations, such as reading only two chips or one UDP port of a half module. 
+
+Note: Only the activated ports will write data as it does not make sense to write an empty file.
