The Auto Target Value parameter defines the target average gray value that the exposure auto
function will attempt to achieve when it is automatically adjusting the Exposure Time Abs value. The
target average gray value may range from 0 (black) to 255 (white) when the camera is set for an 8
bit pixel format or from 0 (black) to 4095 (white) when the camera is set for a 12 bit pixel format.
1. Select the Auto Function AOI 1.

Camera.AutoFunctionAOIOffsetX.SetValue( 0 );
Camera.AutoFunctionAOIOffsetY.SetValue( 0 );
Camera.AutoFunctionAOIWidth.SetValue(
Camera.AutoFunctionAOIWidth.GetMax() );
Camera.AutoFunctionAOIHeight.SetValue(
Camera.AutoFunctionAOIHeight.GetMax() );
// Set the exposure time limits for exposure auto control
Camera.AutoExposureTimeAbsLowerLimit.SetValue( 1000 );
Camera.AutoExposureTimeAbsUpperLimit.SetValue( 1.0E6 );
// Set the target gray value for the exposure auto function
