6.5.2Gain Control

6.5.2 (a) Gain

Gain controls the brightness of an image. If the gain number is increased, (for example, 1000 to 2000) the image becomes brighter. If the gain number is decreased, the image becomes dimmer. The Gain Control box allows you to change the Gain value.

When R Auto Gain is checked the camera automatically sets the gain. While the camera is setting the gain the user interface is disabled. Once the gain is set the check box clears. Be careful not to send other configuration commands during this process because the camera may not receive the commands.

FIGURE 38. The Gain is being set when the R Auto Gain box appears checked.

6.5.3Offset Voltage

Offset is changed by raising on lowering the number in the “Master Offset” or “R Fine Offset” box either by clicking on the arrows or typing a new value in the box.

Checking the “R Auto Offset” check box causes the camera to automatically adjust the offset. The camera continues to adjust the offset unless the user unchecks the auto offset; in that case the offset is left off.

When the offset is changed the new setting does not show in the interface. It is necessary to click on the “Report” button to refresh the screen.
