change it, you can contract with Vzense FAE first.

Gamma gain: the IR image gamma gain value that can be adjust brightness of IR

image. The maximum is 1023.

7.12 Filters Switch

All of these filters are the ToF image filter. The default value is the recommended

choice. Unless user have more professional algorithm to make image better.

7.13 WDR

WDR mode can merge the multi-range image

to extend the detect range

. For

example, if you want to get the distance from 0.35m to 4.4m, only one range mode
can’t cover the whole distance. Use range 0 and 2 WDR can match this requirement.



Configure the WDR mode:

If you have some particular requirement and want to use WDR mode, you can

contract with Vzense FAE first.



Change mode to WDR mode:
