8.2.1.2 Digital Gain
Adjusting the camera’s digital gain will digitally shift the group of bits that is output for the pixel
values from each ADC in the camera.
Increasing the digital gain parameter value will result in an amplified gain and therefore in higher
pixel values. Decreasing the digital gain setting will result in a decreased gain and therefore in lower
pixel values.
The digital gain parameter values can be set on an integer scale ranging from 256 to 2047. This
range of settings is linearly related to a range of amplification factors where a parameter value of
256 corresponds to 0 dB and gain will not be modified and a parameter value of 2047 corresponds
to 18.057 dB and an amplification factor of approximately 8.00.
You can use the formula below to calculate the dB of gain that will result from the Gain Raw
parameter values:
Note that due to the nature of digital gain certain gray values will be absent in the image ("missing
codes") if digital gain is set to a value larger than 256.
You can use the remove parameter limits feature to remove to lower limit for digital gain parameter
values. When you use the remove parameter limits feature you can also set digital gain parameter
values in the range from 0 to 256. This corresponds to a range of amplification factors from 0 to
approximately 0.99.
For more information about the remove parameter limits feature, see Section 8.3 on page 82.
Setting the Digital Gain Using Basler pylon
To set the Gain All parameter value:
Set the Gain Selector to All.
Set the Gain parameter to your desired value.
If the digital gain parameter value is set below 256 using the remove parameter
limits feature: In this case, regardless of the brightness of illumination, the camera
will not be able to reach the maximum gray values that otherwise could be
reached. For example, if the camera is set to a 12 bit pixel data format, the
maximum gray value of 4095 can not be reached if the digital gain parameter value
is set below 256.
