4.4.4 Color Camera
The difference between monochrome and color camera is
the CCD with monochrome or RGB Bayer pattern.
The camera data outputs are the same for both but for the
color camera, the PC software interpolation makes the color
reproduction into RGB. Go to “Pixel” tab and select “Bayer
RGB” in color space. The Color pixel depth is acceptable in
only 8-bit for the Coyote Application Software to display.
However, the “Raw data” save can be done in 12-bit.
The CCD types and data output formats may require different
Bayer pattern starting location. In order to process the proper
color interpolation, the “Starting Bayer pattern” order must be
selected. Choose one of the starting Bayer patterns from the
pull down menu. (Fig. 30)
The Color adjustment can be done by opening “RGB filter”
tab. Each R, G, B gain is displayed. By manually adjusting
each gain, the best color balance will be set. The current
color balance is analyzed by clicking the button. The value is
now used to adjust the white balance by applying the value.

4.4.5 Save Configuration Parameters to Flash
Once the camera control configuration is completed, the pa-
rameter can be stored for the next power up default. It cannot
store all data but major parameters. Go to the Coyote Applica-
tion and pull down the “IP engine” menu. Select “Save device
configuration to flash” and mark “Save state to flash”.
The default is unmarked and allows the factory default setting
at each power-up. Once this is marked, the camera powers up
with the new configuration. (Fig. 32 and 33)
