Calibration
Offset (FPN), Hotpixel Correction: The offset correction is based on a black reference image,
which is taken at no illumination (e.g. lens aperture completely closed). The black
reference image contains the fixed-pattern noise of the sensor, which can be subtracted
from the live images in order to minimize the static noise. Close the lens of the camera.
Click on the Validation button. If the Set Black Ref - button is still inactive, the average of
the image is out of range. Change to panel Charateristics and change the Property
BlackLevelOffset until the average of the image is between 160 and 400DN. Click again
on the Validation button and then on the Set Black Ref Button.
