If, for example, the piA640-210 gm/gc the camera is set for a pixel data format that yields an
effective pixel depth of 12 bits per pixel (Mono 16, Mono 12 Packed):
The Gain Raw All value can be set in a range from 0 to 400.
The Gain Raw Tap 1 value can be set in a range from 0 to 400.
The Gain Raw Tap 2 value can be set in a range from 0 to 400.
The sum of the Gain Raw All setting plus the Gain Raw Tap 1 setting must be between 0
and 400 (inclusive).
The sum of the Gain Raw All setting plus the Gain Raw Tap 2 setting must be between 0
and 400 (inclusive).
For normal operation, we recommend that you set the value of Gain Raw Tap 1 and Gain Raw
Tap 2 to zero and that you simply use Gain Raw All to set the gain. Typically, the tap gains are only
used if you want to adjust the gain balance between the left half and the right half of the sensor.
If you know the current settings for Gain Raw All, Gain Raw Tap 1, and Gain Raw Tap 2, you can
use the formulas below to calculate the dB of gain that will result from the settings.
Gain on the Right Sensor Half = ( 0.0359 x Gain Raw All Setting) + (0.0359 x Gain Raw Tap 1 Setting)
Gain on the Left Sensor Half = ( 0.0359 x Gain Raw All Setting) + (0.0359 x Gain Raw Tap 2 Setting)
For example, assume that you have set the Gain Raw All to 450, the Gain Raw Tap 1 to 0, and the
Gain Raw Tap 2 to 0. Then:
Gain on the Right Sensor Half = ( 0.0359 x 450) + (0.0359 x 0)
Gain on the Right Sensor Half = 16.2 dB
Gain on the Left Sensor Half = ( 0.0359 x 450) + (0.0359 x 0)
Gain on the Left Sensor Half = 16.2 dB
