Parameter Overview
Camera Setup
Camera settings are typically obtained during the calibration process, and you do
not have to modify them.

Exposure
This value sets the exposure or integration time (in ms) for the image sensor
pixels. The exposure setting in relation to the speed of the object is critical. If an
object is moving fast and too long of an exposure value is selected, blurring or
smearing of the object occurs. As exposure time is decreased, the movement of
the object becomes less of a factor. As the duration of light collection by the pixels
is reduced, the image sensor gain must be increased to compensate.
Gain
Sets the gain value for the image sensor and is a percentage value from 0% (lowest
gain) to 100% (highest gain). This setting can be configured through auto-
calibration. A higher gain value increases the brightness of the image, but the
noise performance of the system is reduced. Before configuring the gain, the
required exposure must be set. Then, the gain can be configured to optimize the
exposure setting.

IMPORTANT
The default values shown in the AOP and WebConnect screen captures are
for SXGA auto-focus devices.
• Default: 2500 ms
• Options: 50…100,000 ms
IMPORTANT
This parameter is read-only when in Continuous Read mode.
• Default: SXGA (auto-focus devices) = 0%
WVGA (fixed-focus devices) = 33%
• Options: Any number between 0…100%
