To calibrate the analog gain:
Syntax:
cag t i
Syntax Elements:
t
Tap selection. Allowable range is 1 to 2, or 0 for all taps.
Line average in a range dependent on the current camera
data mode setting:
8-bit: 64 to 251 DN
10 bit: 256 to 1007 DN

3.14 How to Calibrate the Camera
Calibration Overview
This camera has the ability to calibrate itself in order to remove non-uniformity in the
image. This video correction operates on a pixel-by-pixel basis and implements a two
point correction for each pixel. This correction can reduce or eliminate image distortion
caused by the following factors:
Fixed Pattern Noise (FPN)
Photo Response Non Uniformity (PRNU)
Lens and light source non-uniformity
The two point correction is implemented such that for each pixel:
V
output
= (V
input
- FPN( pixel ) - digital offset) * PRNU(pixel)
where V
output
= digital output pixel value
V
input
= digital input pixel value from the CCD
PRNU( pixel) = PRNU correction coefficient for this pixel
FPN( pixel ) = FPN correction coefficient for this pixel
The calibration algorithm is performed in two steps. The fixed offset (FPN) is determined
first by performing a calibration without any light. This calibration determines exactly
how much offset to subtract per pixel in order to obtain flat output when the CCD is not
exposed.
