application will wait for an external triggering pulse. It is needed for grabbing frames
triggered by an external hardware. There are also other settings related to trigger that
can be edited via the application interface (see
“Trigger Settings” on page 32
). For
instruction how to use Hirose trigger with the camera, see
“External Trigger” on page 45

Use this slider to improve colors by means of hardware without loss in frame rate. By
default, the slider is in the central position. Moving it to the right results in color
enhancement. With leftmost slider position, the image becomes monochrome.

result, you can adjust it using a white sheet of paper and then apply it for all subsequent
frames.
To adjust white balance:
1 Put a white sheet of paper or a white object in front of the camera and focus the lens.
2 Make sure auto white balance is enabled (press Auto ).
3 Press Lock .
Press the Disable button if you do not want to balance white, e.g. when you perform
color calibration.
Software Image Correction

the image on the software level. By default, these controls are disabled. To enable the
Hue , Lightness and Saturation sliders, select HSL from the drop-down list.
