3.6.2 Setting the Offset
You can use the Camera Configuration Tool Plus to set the offset on your camera. For more
information on using the configuration tool to adjust offset, refer to the on-line help that is included
with the tool.
You can also use the Offset binary command to set the offset (see Section 4.2.4.11 ). The offset
setting can be programmed on a decimal scale that ranges from 0 to 255, which translates to a
hexadecimal scale of 0x0000 to 0x00FF.
If the camera is operating in 8 bit output mode, an offset setting of around 8 (decimal) will result
in an offset of 0 in the digital values output for the pixels. (Due to tolerances in the electronic
components in your camera, you may find that the default offset of 0 digital values is achieved with
a slightly different setting.) An increase of 16 (decimal) in the offset setting will result in a positive
offset of 1 in the digital values output for the pixels. For example, an offset setting of around 24
(8 + 16, decimal) would be required to reach a positive offset of 1. An offset setting of around 40
(8 + 16 + 16, decimal) would be required to reach a positive offset of 2, and so on.
If the camera is operating in 10 bit output mode, an offset setting of around 2 (decimal) will result
in an offset of 0 in the digital values output for the pixels. (Due to tolerances in the electronic
components in your camera, you may find that the default offset of 0 digital values is achieved with
a slightly different setting.) An increase of 4 (decimal) in the offset setting will result in a positive
offset of 1 in the digital values output for the pixels. For example, an offset setting of around 6
(2 + 4, decimal) would be required to reach a positive offset of 1. An offset setting of around 10
(2 + 4 + 4, decimal) would be required to reach a positive offset of 2, and so on.
If the camera is operating in 12 bit output mode, an offset setting of around 0 (decimal) will result
in an offset of 0 in the digital values output for the pixels. (Due to tolerances in the electronic
components in your camera, you may find that the default offset of 0 digital values is achieved with
a slightly different setting.) An increase of 1 (decimal) in the offset setting will result in a positive
offset of 1 in the digital values output for the pixels. For example, an offset setting of around 1
(0 + 1, decimal) would be required to reach a positive offset of 1. An offset setting of around 2
(0 + 2, decimal) would be required to reach a positive offset of 2, and so on.
