Sensor Alignment
If you are operating with a linear illumination source, check the alignment of the illumination source and the sensor
prior to a shading correction, as rotating the line sensor results in asymmetric vignetting.

Gain/Offset Control Dialog
Cameras are shipped prealigned with gain/offset factory settings. Open the "Gain/Offset Control" dialog [Shift+F4]
to re-adjust or customize settings.
Gain/Offset Control dialog
The gain/offset dialog contains up to 6 sliders for altering gain and offset. The number of active sliders depends on
the individual number of adjustable gain/offset channels of the camera.
The 'Camera Control' frame on the right is used for commands and advanced software functions. (

Adjustment principle
1. Offset
To adjust the zero baseline of the video signal, totally
block the incident light and enter "00" (volts) for channel 1.
For a two- or multi-channel sensor minimize any diffe-
rences between the channels by adjusting the other
Offset sliders.
A slight signal noise should be visible in the zero baseline.
2. Gain
Illuminate the sensor with a slight overexposure in order
to identify the maximum clipping. Use the Gain slider "1"
to adjust the maximum output voltage.
For a two- or multi-channel sensor minimize any diffe-
rences between the channels by adjusting the other Gain
sliders.
For the full 8-bit resolution of the camera, the maximum
output voltage is set to 255 and for 12-bit is set to 4095.
