3.10.5 Subtracting Background
Serial Command: ssb
Purpose: Use the background subtract command if you want to
improve your image in a low contrast scene. This command
is useful for systems that process 8 bit data but want to take
advantage of the camera’s 10 bit digital processing chain.
You should try to make your darkest pixel in the scene equal
to zero.
