10 Device Imager Menu

Main Menu > Imager
The Imager menu icon is on the Main Menu, and lists parameters that affect the characteristics of the captured image. Use
Imager menu to access the auto exposure routine, manually adjust exposure and gain, set trigger and strobe options, as
well as set the size of the Field of View (FOV).

10.1 Auto Exposure

Main Menu > Imager > Auto Exposure
Auto Exposure optimizes the exposure time and gain for the current lighting conditions. Multiple triggers are required to
complete this function.
Note: The Auto Exposure option is not available on the Emulator.

10.2 Exposure

Main Menu > Imager > Exposure
Exposure is the amount of time the iVu allows light to energize the imager. Increasing the exposure time by moving the
slider to the right allows more light to energize the imager, which brightens the image.
Note: This feature is not effective on the emulator.

10.3 Gain

Main Menu > Imager > Gain
Gain is an electronic boost to the image signal. Increasing Gain by using the '-' and '+' buttons or moving the slider to the
right increases image brightness without increasing exposure time. Note that Gain brightens both the light pixels and dark
pixels and may reduce the image quality.
