8.2 Gain and Black Level
8.2.1 Gain
The camera’s gain is adjustable. As shown in
Fig. 16, increasing the gain increases the
slope of the response curve for the camera.
This results in an increase in the gray values
output from the camera for a given amount of
output from the imaging sensor. Decreasing
the gain decreases the slope of the response
curve and results in lower gray values for a
given amount of sensor output.
Increasing the gain is useful when at your
brightest exposure, the highest gray values
achieved are lower than 255 (for pixel data
formats with 8 bit depth) or 4095 (for pixel
data formats with 12 bit depth). For example,
if you found that at your brightest exposure
the gray values output by the camera were no
higher than 127 (in an 8 bit format), you could
increase the gain to 6 dB (an amplification
factor of 2) and thus reach gray values of 254.
You can use the analog gain for coarsely setting gain and the digital gain for finer adjustment.
