3.11 AGC Tab

The AGC tab, shown in Figure 3-9, controls the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) mode or
algorithm along with selectable parameters. Only one mode can operate at a time and is
selected by clicking one of the Algorithm buttons in the upper left portion of the window.
Parameters for a given mode are contextually made available depending on which mode is
selected. The Region of Interest (ROI) for the AGC mode is adjustable as well (see
paragraph 3.12).

Note
FLIR has invested heavily in designing high quality AGC algorithms. The default mode
(Automatic) along with the default parameter settings for the Automatic AGC mode have been
proven to offer the best image quality for generalized scene imaging. Also, be aware that you
can make AGC adjustments that will configure the Tau camera to produce no image (all black
or all white). Restoring the Factory Defaults on the Setup Tab will return the camera to its
factory default state and likely restore normal camera operation.
