Adjusting Camera Gain
A camera is able to capture images by detecting
light from light receiving element in CCD or CMOS.
PV500 can use grayscale value between 0 through
255, but light receiving elements can capture
brightness with higher resolution.
"Camera Gain" is a parameter for converting
brightness captured by light receiving elements into
grayscale value.
