The maximum trigger frequency in this mode is equal to 1/ (transfer time of two exposure time of the
first image).
The minimum active period of the external trigger is 10 pixel clocks (250ns)

Gain Control
2.1.3 (a) Gain
Gain controls the brightness of an image. If the gain number is increased (for example, 1000 to 2000), the
image becomes brighter. If the gain number is decreased, the image becomes dimmer. The Gain Control box
allows you to change the Gain value. Also, if operating the camera in dual-tap mode, the Gain Control allows
you to adjust the balance of the gain between the two channels.
To manually adjust the overall gain, increase or decrease the number in the Master Gain field. In dual-tap
mode, you can manually adjust the balance of channel B (right channel) by altering the number in the Right
Fine Gain field.
To automatically balance the gain between the two channels, check the box labeled Auto Gain Balance. While
the camera is balancing the gain, the user interface is disabled and the label for the check box changes to
“Balancing Please Wait.” Once the right channel gain has been balanced, the check box clears. Be careful not
to send other configuration commands during this process because the camera may not receive the commands.
Figure 10.
The Gain is being set when the Auto Gain box appears checked.
Verify that the channel balance process has completed by checking the message area at the bottom of the GUI
window. The message “R Auto Gain Enabled” will appear when completed.
Figure 11.
The message bar confirms channel balance status.
During channel balancing, channel B is aligned to channel A. Good channel balance is obtained by exposing the
camera to a uniform light source at under 80% saturation. If the camera is in async trigger mode and the trigger
frequency is low (or slow), it may take longer to collect enough frames to balance the channels. Another
condition in which auto balancing may not work properly is when you use the high-speed shutter under a low-
frequency light, such as a fluorescent light.
2.1.4
Offset Voltage
Offset is changed by raising or lowering the number in the “Master Offset” or “R Fine Offset” box either by
clicking on the arrows or typing a new value in the box.
