8. Gain value
The gain value is shown in the indicator
box, ranging from 0 to 12 dB. If AE is
off, then the GAIN can be set using
the TOUCHSCREEN. If AE is on, then iris
and gain are adjusted to match the
BRIGHTNESS setting.
8. Brightness
This indicator shows the brightness value,
determining in auto-exposure mode the
balance of gain and iris. The Brightness
can be adjusted between -40 and +40
using the IRIS adjustment, if AE is off.
If the BRIGHTNESS is less than -20 or
greater than +20 then the indicator is
red, to signal that one should either
increase/reduce the light and/or
increase/reduce the exposure time.
9. Focus motor position
The focus motor position in motor units
is shown in the indicator box. Only one
value is shown for both objectives, since
they are fully synchronous.
