Clipping - Basler L800k User Manual

You set the right odd/even offset balance by writing a value to the Absolute R O/E Offset Balance
field or to the Raw R O/E Offset Balance field of the Right Odd/Even Offset Balance CSR (see
page 4-32).

3.6.5 Clipping

If the gain and offset on an L800
are set incorrectly, "high clipping" or "low
clipping" can occur.
High clipping
combination of gain and offset is set so
that the range of light level data in the
scene being captured by the camera
exceeds the range of camera output. In
this situation, all of the pixels that are
seeing a light level higher than the camera
can represent will be "clipped" at the
camera's maximum output value as shown
in Figure 3-8.
Low clipping
combination of gain and offset is set so
that a large part of the light level data in the
darker areas of scene being captured by
the camera is below the range of camera
output. In this situation, all of the pixels that
are seeing a light level lower than the
camera can represent will be "clipped" at
the camera's minimum output value as
shown in Figure 3-9.
If the camera is experiencing clipping, a
clipping error flag will be set. You can
determine whether clipping is present by
checking the camera status as described
in Section 3.12.
