Setting The Offset - Basler A202K Manual

Operation and Features
6. Use the same method as shown in steps 3, 4, and 5 to calculate the right side gain setting.
For our example, the result would be 446
7. Convert the results to hexadecimal:
Left Side Gain Setting of 443 decimal = 0x01BB
Right Side Gain Setting of 446 decimal = 0x01BE
8. Use the left side gain and the right side gain binary commands to set the left side gain and
the right side gain to the calculated values.
After you use the commands to enter the calculated values, the camera will be operating at
6 dB with respect to the reference camera and the left side and right side pixels will be
balanced.
You may get a better left side/right side match by increasing either the left side gain or
the right side gain by one.
Since the camera's black level is very stable, you do not need to adjust the offset when
you change the gain.

3.5.3 Setting the Offset

You can use the Camera Configuration Tool (CCT) to set the offset on your camera. For more
information on using the CCT to adjust offset, refer to the on-line help that is included with the tool.
You can also use the Left Side Offset binary command to set the left side offset and the Right Side
Offset binary command to set the right side offset (see Section 4.2.4.11 and 4.2.4.13). The left
side and right side offset settings can be programmed on a decimal scale that ranges from 0 to
255 (0x0000 to 0x00FF).
If the camera is operating in 10 bit output mode, an increase of 4 (decimal) in the left side setting
will result in a positive offset of 1 in the digital values output for the pixels on the left side of the
sensor. An increase of 4 (decimal) in the right side setting will result in a positive offset of 1 in the
digital values output for the pixels on the right side of the sensor.
If the camera is operating in 8 bit output mode, an increase of 16 (decimal) in the left side setting
will result in a positive offset of 1 in the digital values output for the pixels on the left side of the
sensor. An increase of 16 (decimal) in the right side setting will result in a positive offset of 1 in the
digital values output for the pixels on the right side of the sensor.
