Camera Performance and Features
The camera allows the user to access a LUT (Look Up Table) to allow the user to customize the
linearity of how the camera responds. This can be done by uploading a LUT to the camera using
the file transfer features or by using the gammaCorrection feature.
The gamma correction value can be adjusted by the user at any time.
When the LUT is enabled, there is no change in maximum line rate or amount of data output from
the camera. The LUT can be used with any mode of the camera. Further, when the LUT is enabled,
it is recommended that the fixed Offset available in the Camera Control category be set to zero.
To upload a LUT, use
File Access Control Category > Upload / Download File > Settings
and select
Look Up Table
to upload a file.
The file format is described in 03-084-20133 Linea Binary File
Format which can be obtained from
Teledyne DALSA Technical Support. This document also includes Excel spread sheet examples.
How to Generate LUT with CamExpert
CamExpert can also be used to create a LUT file. The camera uses a 12-bit in / 12-bit out LUT (even if
the camera is outputting an 8-bit image). CamExpert can be configured to create a 12-bit in / 16-bit out
LUT - the camera will convert it to the required format.
1.

Important points:
The frame grabber must be configured mono 12 bits in, 16 bits out.
In the Parameters explorer a frame grabber feature must be selected, not a camera feature.
The Lookup table must be enabled to be created. But should be disabled to use the camera
LUT.
