3.6.2 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 Offset binary command to set the offset (see Section 4.2.4.11). The offset
setting can be programmed on a decimal scale that ranges from 0 to 255, which translates to a
hexadecimal scale of 0x0000 to 0x00FF.
If the camera is operating in 8 bit output mode, an offset setting of around 8 (decimal) will result
in an offset of 0 in the digital values output for the pixels. (Due to tolerances in the electronic
components in your camera, you may find that the default offset of 0 digital values is achieved with
a slightly different setting.) An increase of 16 (decimal) in the offset setting will result in a positive
offset of 1 in the digital values output for the pixels. For example, an offset setting of around 24
(8 + 16, decimal) would be required to reach a positive offset of 1. An offset setting of around 40
(8 + 16 + 16, decimal) would be required to reach a positive offset of 2, and so on.
If the camera is operating in 10 bit output mode, an offset setting of around 2 (decimal) will result
in an offset of 0 in the digital values output for the pixels. (Due to tolerances in the electronic
components in your camera, you may find that the default offset of 0 digital values is achieved with
a slightly different setting.) An increase of 4 (decimal) in the offset setting will result in a positive
offset of 1 in the digital values output for the pixels. For example, an offset setting of around 6
(2 + 4, decimal) would be required to reach a positive offset of 1. An offset setting of around 10
(2 + 4 + 4, decimal) would be required to reach a positive offset of 2, and so on.
