function PsychSetupCamera(camsettingsfile, rate, fullscreen)
% PsychSetupCamera(camsettingsfile, rate)
% 
% Setup basic camera settings like exposure time, brightness and gain.
%
% The routine loads camera settings from 'camsettingsfile' if it
% exists, otherwise it uses the cameras default settings.
%
% Then it runs a video loop at 'rate' frames per second.
%
% During the loop, the user can change settings by pressing:
%
% 'Cursor left' and 'Cursor right' keys to decrease or increase
% exposure time.
%
% 'Cursor up' and 'Cursor down' to increase or decrease camera gain.
%
% 'b' and 'd' to increase or decrease brightness setting.
%
% 'w' to write the current settings to 'camsettingsfile', overwriting
% the old file, if it already exists.
%
% 'ESC'ape key to finish setup.
%
% If no rate is given, the loop runs at 30 Hz.
% If no filename is given, 'CamSettings.mat' is read/written from
% the current working directory.

% History:
% 06/04/06 Written. (MK)
