Displaying Images

The Calibir GXM640 sensor outputs 16-bit images, but these images cannot be displayed
directly; for display they must be converted to 8-bit images. This can be done by the
camera (see the

Contrast Enhancement

section) or by the host application.

Displaying 16-bit Images

In CamExpert, under the Image Format Controls tab, select Pixel Format = Monochrome
16-Bit.

In this configuration, the Calibir camera outputs 16-bit images and it is the host
application that is responsible for converting them to displayable 8-bit images.

To do so in CamExpert, right-click on the display window and select

Display Setting…

In the Display Setting dialog, use the slider to select the bit range to display.
