AW00089317000 Standard Features
Basler ace GigE 199
Set the Gain Selector to Gain All.
Set the Gain Raw parameter to your desired value.
You can set the Gain Selector and the Gain Raw parameter value from within your application
software by using the Basler pylon API.
The following code snippet illustrates using the API to set the selector and the parameter value:
Camera.GainSelector.SetValue( GainSelector_All );
Camera.GainRaw.SetValue( 400 );
You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameters.
For more information about the pylon API and the pylon Viewer, see Section 3 on page 45.
If you know the current decimal setting for the gain raw, you can use the following formula to
calculate the dB of gain that will result from that setting:
Gain
db
= 0.0359 x Gain Raw Setting
Example:
Camera has a gain raw setting of 200. Gain calculation:
Gain
db
= 0.0359 x 200
Gain
db
= 7.2
Table 28 shows the minimum and maximum possible dB of gain for each camera model.
Model
To set the Gain Raw parameter value:
On acA640-90gm/gc, acA640-120gm/gc, acA645-100gm/gc, acA780-75gm/gc,
acA1300-30gm/gc, and on acA1600-20gm/gc cameras, the minimum setting for
the Gain Raw parameter can be reduced to 0 by using the remove parameter limits
feature.
For more information about the remove parameter limits feature, see Section 10.3
on page 208.
