10.2 Contrast Modification (XCAP Std. Only)
The image contrast can be modified from the
“Contrast Modification”
section under the
“Modify”
tab in the XCAP imaging window. Where to find this control feature is shown in
Figure 13. If wanting to view a useable image without any EM gain applied, contrast
modification will have to be enabled. Raptor recommends having this enabled at all times
when imaging the camera. If applying ROI or binning controls, the contrast modification will
have to be re-enabled each time.
In the contrast modification box, that can be seen from Figure 14, select
“Stretch Contrast,
Histogram Percentile Endpoints”
and click
“preview”.
The contrast modification will now be
applied over the live image feed. The contrast can be adjusted using the low and high end
percentile point controls. The default settings are usually adequate for most applications.
NOTE: This control feature is only applicable with XCAP Std.
