Auto gain
In combination with auto white balance, all Marlin CCD models are equipped
with
auto gain
feature.
When enabled auto gain adjusts the gain within the default gain limits (see
Table 33: Manual gain range of the various Marlin types
on page 80) or within
the limits set in advanced register F1000370h in order to reach the bright-
ness set in auto exposure register as reference.
Increasing the auto exposure value (aka target grey value) increases the aver-
age brightness in the image and vice versa.
The applied algorithm uses a proportional plus integral controller (PI control-
ler) to achieve minimum delay with zero overshot.
The following table shows both the gain and auto exposure CSR.
