If you want to adjust camera settings such as gain and offset, consult the camera
manufacturer’s documentation for the syntax of the command to use. You can also look
through the comments in your camera’s CLC file for suggested commands. You can use
the Cognex Camera Link Configuration Utility to change configuration parameters
interactively, and you can use the utility to create, save, and load command files.
Note Be sure to store setting changes in the camera, so that it is
configured correctly at each power-on.

This section contains information about custom configuration that may be required for
specific Camera Link cameras.
Correcting Basler L402k Images
The Basler L402k line scan camera can exhibit striping in the right half of the image. You
can calibrate out the striping by following the procedures given in Basler’s
L400k User’s
Manual . See “Shading Correction” in section 3.6 of the Basler manual.
Apply both DSNU and PRNU shading correction, as described in the Basler manual.
The provided calibration method is scene and lighting dependent, and thus must be
performed on site.
Once calibrated, be sure to save your correction values to the camera’s non-volatile
memory as described in the same section of Basler’s manual.
