Analog Control

ColumnGain

Column gain will be increased before the analog value is converted
into a digital value. As a consequence the dynamic range will decrease
and noise will increase. In case your signal is too small, use column
gain before you use digital gain. 

DigitalGain

When using digital gain the all pixels values of the image will be
increased. As a result, the whole image becomes brighter, the
dynamic range is decreased, and noise will be increased. It is recom-
mended to be used for 8-bit-images only.
