Setting Offset

In the figure below, the horizontal axis indicates the amount of incident light and

the vertical axis indicates the output.

Fs shows the output at saturation. Dd shows the output at darkness. (Both Fs and

Dd are digital.) Se shows the saturation current, or the amount of exposure when

the output saturates.

Figure 4-10-1 Saturation Exposure and Dark Current Output

By setting the offset, you can set the Y-intercept arbitrarily. DF shows the digital

offset value. The gradient of the line does not change.

Figure 4-10-2 Offset Adjustment



Adjust amount of offset in accordance with the requirements of your camera

system.
