Beschreibung
is_Blacklevel() controls the black level correction of the camera which might improve the image
quality under certain circumstances. By default, the sensor adjusts the black level value for each
pixel automatically. If the environment is very bright, it can be necessary to adjust the black level
manually.

Black level correction - Auto +
offset

offset only
The nCommand input parameter is used to select the function mode. The pParam input parameter
depends on the selected function mode. If you select functions for setting or returning a value,
pParam contains a pointer to a variable of the UINT type. The size of the memory area to which
pParam refers is specified in the cbSizeOfParam input parameter.
