Test images 

 
F-201B 
The camera has 2 test images that look the same. Both images show a grey bar running 
diagonally. One test image is static, the other moves upwards by 1 pixel/frame. 
 

 

 

 

Figure 37 Gray bar test image 

Formula for calculating the gray value: 
 
Gray value = (x+y) MOD256 (8-bit mode) 
Gray value = (x+y) MOD1024 (10-bit mode)
