Setting Contrast Area by Mouse
You can control the minimum and maximum values used for the conversion
from 16 bit to 8 bit with the mouse. Move the mouse cursor into a region
which should be shown with maximum contrast. Press the shift and the left
mouse button. Hold down the mouse button while increasing the size of the
rubber band window with mouse moves. After releasing of the mouse
button the coordinates of the rubber band window act as a border for
calculating the minimum and maximum values.
Setting a new ROI by Mouse
In the same manner you can setup a new region of interest (see ROI in
Camera control) for the camera. You only have to press the CTRL (Strg)
button instead of the shift button. The coordinates of the rubber band
window are used for calculating a new region of interest, which will be
adapted to the camera capabilities automatically. You can reset the ROI to
maximum by pressing the CTRL (Strg) button and the right mouse button.
White Balance by Mouse
In the same manner you can change the ‘white balance’. You only have to
press the CTRL (Strg) and the shift button at the same time. The pixel
values within the coordinates of the rubber band window are used for
calculating a new ‘white balance’.
For best results we recommend to use the white balance button in the
‘Convert Control Color’ (see 7.6) or the ‘Auto Balance Color’ in the Local
Menu (see 7.9) respectively.
Fold Up Window
The Convert Control windows can be minimized/folded up. Just move the
pointer over the bar and the window will unfold again.
