General user settings are: Automatic Gain and Exposure-parameter (on / off, manual exposure time) Gamma value Test Functions The following test functions are available: Switching between transmission of the live image of the camera and a test pattern for testing purposes ... -
Page 27: Gamma Correction
In the normal case, the image brightness is controlled with the exposure time. Only if this is not possible, the manual gain should be used. Gam m a Correction To set the optimum display of grayscale, a gamma value can be transferred using the appropriate commands. -
Page 28: Software-Reset
The physical properties of the sensor require quantization of the exposure time to a time pattern. As a result, the accuracy with which the desired exposure time can be set is limited. “Reset / Restart” The exposure of the sensor is started by an external trigger signal or a software trigger command. The duration of the exposure time can be transferred using the appropriate commands. -
