10.1.1 Setting the Gain
The camera’s gain is determined by the value of the Gain Raw parameter. Gain Raw is adjusted on
an integer scale. The minimum setting varies depending on the camera model and on whether
vertical binning is enabled (see Table 27). The maximum setting depends on whether the camera
is set for a pixel data format that yields
 8 bit effective pixel depth (e.g. Mono 8, YUV 4:2:2 Packed, YUV 4:2:2 (YUYV) Packed) or
 an effective pixel depth of 12 bits per pixel (e.g. Mono 12, Mono 12 Packed, Bayer BG 12,
Bayer BG 12 Packed).
All Models
Except
acA1920-25, acA2000-50, acA2040-25, and acA2500-14
.
This section (Section 10.1) describes how gain can be adjusted "manually", i.e.,
by setting the value of the Gain Raw parameter.
The camera also has a Gain Auto function that can automatically adjust the gain.
Manual adjustment of the Gain Raw parameter will only work correctly, if the
Gain Auto function is disabled.
For more information about
 auto functions in general, see Section 10.13 on page 276.
 the Gain Auto function, see Section 10.13.4 on page 284.
