OWL 640 N/USER MANUAL/03-20/REV1.0
8.2 Gain Mode
The camera has two modes of operation, high gain mode and low gain mode (default). The
gain mode of the camera can be toggled from the “Gain” tab on the GUI. If the ALC is
enabled, the gain mode will be controlled automatically depending on the imaging scene
illumination.
High gain mode provides the best noise performance and can provide better images for low
scene illumination e.g. night imaging.
Low gain mode provides the best dynamic range and can provide better images for high
scene illumination e.g. daytime imaging or using large exposure times.
The gain mode control is shown in Figure 10.
