Displaying Images - Teledyne FLIR A68 Series User Manual

Displaying Images

The FLIR A68/A38 series sensor outputs 16-bit images, but these images cannot be
displayed directly; for display they must be converted to 8-bit images. This can be
done by the camera (see the Contrast Enhancement section) or by the host application.
Displaying 16-bit Images
In CamExpert, under the Image Format Controls Category, select Pixel Format =
Monochrome 16-Bit.
In this configuration, the A68/A38 camera outputs 16-bit images and it is the host
application that is responsible for converting them to displayable 8-bit images.
To do so in CamExpert, right-click on the display window and select Display Setting...
In the Display Setting dialog, use the slider to select the bit range to display.
