Choose one of Auto Gain modes: “Once” or “Continuous”.  Under “Once” mode, the algorithm will adjust 
the Analog Gain only once, and then the feature will be set to OFF. Respectively under “Continuous” mode, 
the gain will be adjusted continuously.

Combined Auto Exposure & Auto Gain Mode 

 

When  operating  in  this  mode,  the  camera  tries  to  reach  the  preferred  picture  brightness  by  adjusting  both 
Exposure  and  Analog  Gain  values.    If  the  camera’s  image  intensiveness  is  under  desired  brightness  level,  the 
algorithm first increases exposure value to make the picture brighter. If exposure level is at maximum value, while 
preferred brightness level is not reached yet, the algorithm starts to modify Gain Level and adjust exposure level 
accordingly. 
This mode is operational only when both Auto Exposure and Auto Gain are set to “Continues” mode. 
 
Steps to set Combined Auto Exposure and Auto Gain Mode: 
 

1.

 

Define the parameters for Auto Exposure; please see the section 7.3.3.1 for detailed instructions. 

2.

 

Set Auto Exposure to “Continuous” mode. 

3.

 

Define the parameters for Auto Gain; please see related section 7.3.3.2 for detailed instructions. 

4.

 

Set Auto Exposure to “Continuous” mode. 

 

7.3.5

 

Brightness Level 

 

The  Desired  Brightness  Level  reflect  the  average  value  of  all pixels  in  the  defined  ROI.  The  value  range  of the 
Desired Brightness Level depends on the output pixel bitness. e.g. for a 10bit output the value should be between 
0 and 1023, while for 12bit output the value should be between 0 and 4095.
