Test Patterns
When setting test patterns, the camera set the digital gains to 1x, the digital offsets to 0, and
deactivates the flat field correction. This ensures that the test patterns appear as they should. At
the same time, the camera saves the last set of values that were used for video processing and
restores them when video output is restored.
Use CamExpert to easily enable and select any test pattern from the drop menu while the camera is
not in acquisition mode. Select live grab to see the pattern output.
The Test Pattern feature is available in the Image Format category:
