Analog:
The user can set the desired analog gain (0 to 36 dB, 1024 discrete
values) and offset (0 to 1023, 1 step increment) for each channel via the
sliders or by entering the desired values.
“Link Gain” and “Link Offset” links the corresponding channels
together (dual tap camera only), and the gain or offset difference
between them will be preserved.
Pre Amp Gain:
The user can select the preamplifier gain for the camera (the same for
both channels). 4 options are possible -3 dB, 0, +3 dB, and +6 dB. The
default Pre Amp Gain value is camera dependent and it is set for the best
camera performance.
Digital:
The user can set the desired digital gain (1.0x to 3.0x, 0.1x increment)
and digital offset (-511 to +511, 1 step increment) via the slider or by
entering the desired value. The selected value for gain or offset is
applied to both channels.
Load Defaults:
Loads the Manufacturing default gain and offset settings. The settings
might be different for “Slow” and “Fast” modes.
Corrections:
Tap balance
– when selected enables automatic tap balancing. Four
options are available – Off, Auto, Once, Static.
White balance
– when selected enables automatic white balance. This
feature is optional.
Black Comp
–
when selected enables “Black Compensation” and
automatically determines and compensates for black level.
5.7.2 I/O Control
The camera has 2 external inputs and 2 external outputs. In addition to these inputs and
outputs, the cameras with camera link output have two more inputs (CC1 and CC2) and
one output (CL Spare) available. The user can map all available internal input and output
signals to all external camera inputs and outputs – Figure 5.11.
Input
:
The user can map each of the camera inputs CC1, CC2, IN1 or IN2 to all
available internal input signals. 5 signals are available for mapping. For
each input the user can set the signal level to active “High” or active
“Low”.
1.
Computer trigger – maps CC1 or CC2 to the internal (CC) computer
trigger input.
2.
External Trigger – maps IN1 or IN2 to the external computer trigger
input.
