    3.4 Gain Control Mode (AGC/MGC) Automatic gain control (AGC): AGC/MGC switch is located on the rear plate. AGC factory setting is 2V for AGC control and 3V for AGC MAX control. Therefore, the maximum gain is about 18dB as shown in Figure 6 below. AGC setting cannot be changed through the rear gain potentiometer. Manual gain control (MGC): The manual gain control can be adjusted from 5dB to 18dB through the gain potentiometer on rear plate.

    3.6 Field and Frame Mode (FLD/FRM) Field Mode: Field/Frame mode switch is located on the rear panel. In field mode, two adjacent horizontal lines are combined and scanned out as shown in figure 8 shown below. There is one line offset between odd field and even field. The sensitivity in field mode is double for each field scanning (1/60 second).

    4.2 Integration The UM-100/UM-101 camera can be integrated up to 2 seconds without severe noise or dark current effect. Make sure the camera is set to frame mode before preceding any integration; this will ensure that there will be a full frame video (both odd and even field).

    4.3 Strobe Set NRM/ASM switch to ASM mode and make sure the FRM/FLD switch on rear panel is set to FRM mode in order to achieve full frame resolution. The strobe application is similar to high-speed shutter application except the strobe pulse must occur in the dark and no shutter is required. The advantage to use strobe is that a full frame resolution of video will be obtained.
