VTube considers rotations to be positive in the CCW direction. Some benders handle Positive rotations as a Clockwise motion, so you will probably need to enter "YES" for these options (so that the rotations are not corrected in the wrong direction).

MASTER tube LRA
Go to Bender Setup and SEND the Master XYZ + BLUE Columns to see which direction the rotations are being sent
Open the 'Other Info' path and find the .S2B file. Open that file and view the $mlra file. The number after $mlra is the number of bends, so this will change per project.

 

If you need to invert the rotations, go to Configure Benderlink Protocols

 

Find the bender you need to have inverted rotations for and change the 
CW Rotations Positive at Import and Export from NO to YES

 

Next time you send data to that bender, the rotations will be inverted from the MASTER
rotation inversion
