·
You can set the exposure time either via the slider or enter a numerical value in the input field behind it.
·
The gain can be set automatically ("Continuous"option) or manually. 0% = no gain and 100% = maximum
possible gain (depending on the sensor).
·
With the button you can determine the automatic gain value once if you do not want to use the
"Continuous" option.
To determine the gain value, the trigger mode is briefly changed to "Software" and then reset to the original
value. No moving objects should be used for the determination, otherwise the correct execution cannot be
guaranteed.
