Table 19: AGC Commands
Command
Optional Payload
Description
status
Display the AGC commands and settings
agcupdinterva
XX
Number of histograms to collect before doing an
AGC update
saturationlev
XXX
Sets the digital value at which a pixel is considered
saturated
bdeltalim
XXX
Sets the minimum brightness delta between the
high and low limit of the cumulative histogram in
conjunction with the “saturationlev” to determine
if the sensor output is saturated under normal
operation
bhidnlim
XXX
Increase exposure value if “bhipcagc” is lower than
this digital output value
bhipcagc
XX
Mean brightness high percentage of the
cumulative histogram to remap that AGC
algorithm tries to maintain to “bhitgt” digital value
blopcagc
XX
Mean brightness low percentage of the
cumulative histogram to remap that AGC
algorithm tries to maintain to 0 digital value
csbin_high
XXX
Sets the contrast stretch bin high to XXX
csbin_lo
XXX
Sets the contrast stretch bin low to XXX
bhipccontrast
XX.X
Percentage of the cumulative histogram at which
the histogram stretching maps to 1023 digital
value output
blopccontrast
XX.X
Percentage of the cumulative histogram at which
the histogram stretching maps to 0 digital value
output
bhitgt
XXX
Target brightness that AGC tries to maintain
“bhipcagc”
bhiuplim
XXX
Decrease exposure value if “bhipcagc” is lower
than this digital output value
cliphisteqlev
XXX.XX
Histogram clipping equalization level in pixel
percentage
count
XX
Number of histogram to obtain running average
to calculate AGC statistics
contrast_damp
XXX
Histograms to average to damp the video contrast
enhancement
evlim
XX
Maximum percentage change in exposure value
allowed between AGC updates
int_g
XX
Maximum reduction in exposure value if the scene
is saturated
integtime
XXXX
Sets camera integration time (in lines) to x if the
AGC is disabled
integr8b4agc
0
1
Update averaging statistics during AGC
Update averaging statistics before AGC
intg_max
XXXX
Sets the maximum integration time allowed (in
lines) by the AGC. By default the NOCTURN are
shipped with an AGC lookup table that only allows
increase of the integration time to 2120 lines. In
order to use this function for values greater than
2120, the AGC table must be adjusted.
