Settings
Shutter
- This parameter controls the duration of time that the camera shutter is open during image
capture. The larger the value, the longer the camera shutter is open. In general, the user should not
adjust this factory set parameter.
Gain
- The higher the value for Gain, the more light the camera allows during “exposure”. Similar to
Flash Duration, Gain should be set to the lowest value possible that still provides optimal illumination
when assessed in combination with Flash Duration and the remaining camera settings.
White Balance U/White Balance V (Color Camera Only)
- These parameters need to be manually set
in order to achieve a white (or neutral grey) colored background. The best way to accomplish this goal
is to open and view the Setup and Focus window while adjusting the parameters. Refer to the following
illustration for a guide to assist with selecting values (V values are on the Y-Axis and U values are on
the X-Axis). The user should attempt to balance both V and U with the resulting color similar to the
center of both the X- and Y-axis shown in the illustration. For example, if the observed image has an
orange tint, White Balance U should be increased in the positive direction and the White Balance V
should be decreased in the negative direction.
Brightness
- This parameter allows the user to fine tune the illumination of the camera field of view
(after the major parameters Flash Duration and Gain have been adjusted). In general, the user should
not adjust this factory set parameter.
