This can be used to create your own preferred layout. If you'd rather things come up in their default state every time then you can uncheck this box. -"Display values as hexadecimal": A lot of the time people who are doing CAN reverse engineering like to see values in hexadecimal (base 16) instead of the more familar decimal (base 10) system. Checking this box will cause most of the values in the application to show up in hex. This applies to CAN ids and data bytes. Unchecking this causes values to default to decimal instead. The reason for using hex is that each hex digit is 4 bits. Integers on a computer tend to be in multiples of 8 - 8, 16, 32, 64. So, hex digits have a direct mapping to the underlying binary. Decimal does not have this correspondance AT ALL. But, the choice is yours. +"Display values as hexadecimal": A lot of the time people who are doing CAN reverse engineering like to see values in hexadecimal (base 16) instead of the more familiar decimal (base 10) system.

Serial connections can be finicky sometimes and so the connection can be validated to prove that everything is really still operating and talking. There probably isn't any reason to turn this off except while debugging to see if it changes anything. Mostly just don't touch this.
