White level correction
Gradation calibration
ADS control (Background Density)
Creating the SBU test pattern
Operation Summary
The signals from the 3-line CCD, one line for each color (R, G, B) and 2 analog signals per
line (ODD, EVEN), are sampled by the ASIC and converted to digital signals in the 10-bit
A/D converter. This is the first phase of processing the data scanned from the original.
Storing Operation Settings
The controller stores the SBU settings. These values must be restored after the lens block
is replaced:
