Setting The Gain - Basler L800k User Manual

Operation and Features
All cameras have default gain settings that are referenced to a factory master L800
camera. This default output is referred to as 0 dB of gain. This means that when
you set your camera for +4.00 dB of gain, you are getting 4.00 dB more than the
factory master. And if you set your camera to -2.00 dB of gain, you are getting 2.00
dB less than the factory master.
Referencing the gain settings on all cameras to a factory master ensures that when
you set one L800
match all other L800
