Serial Interface: How to Control the Camera 59
Resetting the Current Pixel Coefficients
Purpose: Resets the current user coefficients to zero. This command
also resets saved coefficients to zero, resulting in raw video
without correction being output from the camera.
Syntax:
• rpc
Notes: The rpc command is not available when the camera is using
the factory calibrated coefficients (csn 0). You must select
the user coefficient set (csn 1) before you can reset pixel
coefficients. An error message is returned if you attempt to
reset pixel coefficients when using csn 0. To return the
current
csn number, send the command get csn.
3.10 Gain Adjustments
3.10.1 Factory Calibrated Analog Gains
The camera has a factory calibrated analog gain setting. Adjustment of analog gain is not available to the
user, however, digital gain is available using the set system gain serial command,
ssg.
3.10.2 Setting Digital System Gain for Monochrome Cameras
Serial Command: ssg
Purpose: Increases the overall gain of the camera.
Improves signal output swing after a background subtract.
When subtracting a digital value from the digital video
signal, using the
ssb command, the output can no longer
reach its maximum. Use this command to correct for this
where:
ssg value =
max output value
max output value - ssb value
Syntax:
• ssg t i
