Luminance
– sets the desired luminance level to be maintained in
the image. The comparison algorithm will adjust the image gain and
exposure accordingly, so the image luminance is always close to the
desired one. The user can select which luminance type to be used in
the algorithm:
1.
Average – the average value of the image luminance will be used
in the comparison algorithm.
2.
Peak – the peak luminance value (maximum luminance level)
will be used in the comparison algorithm.
Exposure
– sets the maximum exposure time, which can be reached
in the AEC mode in order to avoid motion smear if a fast moving
object is monitored. The user can select the speed of convergence 1x
(slow), 2x, 3x and 4x (fast).
Gain
– sets the maximum analog gain, which can be reached in the
AGC mode. The user can select the speed of convergence 1x (slow),
2x, 3x and 4x (fast).
Current
– Provides live information about the current value of the
Exposure time, Gain and Luminance. The values will be refreshed
every time polling is done.
5.7.6 Test Image
This window sets the test image mode. Several test images are available for
selection, including pattern superimposing over live image – Figure 5.15.
Ping:
Checks the serial connection status of the camera:
GREEN
– followed by a brief “OK”, indicates a successful
connection.
RED
– followed by and “ERR”, indicates no connection.
YELLOW
– “Ping” command was sent to the camera. A few
seconds after pinging, the indicator becomes gray and the message
disappears.
Test Mode
:
Test Patterns
– the camera can output eight test patterns:
1.
Off – test mode is off.
2.
Black – displays black image.
3.
Gray Image – displays a uniform dark gray image.
4.
White Image – displays a uniform white image.
5.
H Ramp – displays a stationary horizontal ramp image.
6.
V Ramp – displays a stationary vertical ramp image.
7.
H Ramp move – displays a moving horizontal ramp image.
8.
V Ramp move – displays a moving vertical ramp image.
