5.4.3 Filter Wheel Settings [A858x and A678x only]

The A858x and A678x have a motorized 4-position (A858x) / 3-position (A678x) filter wheel which can
be populated with warm filters at the time of manufacturing. The filter wheel can hold 1-inch diameter
filters. Each holder can hold up to two filters with a combined thickness of 2mm. The camera can
store a text description for the filter ID. These filters are typically neutral density filters which reduce
the light signal reaching the sensor in order to facilitate the observation of very bright sources, such as
rocket plumes, or decoy flares. In this example, the filter wheel is empty and shows the empty ID
number of 63. The user can select the filter they want to use. The wheel will rotate around to locate
the correct filter ID. A typical filter load is Empty, ND1, ND2 and ND3. These choices make it
possible to do radiometry up to 3000C.
