TM-4200GE Software
Configuring the TM-4200GE Camera
3.4.6 Gain Settings
3.4.6 (a) Gain
The Gain Settings control box, shown in Figure , allows you to change the Gain value from 0 to 4095.
To change the value, either click on the up or down button beside the current setting or enter the value
directly into the text box.
3.4.6 (b) R Auto Gain Control
Click the R Auto Gain checkbox to enable gain channel balancing. The box stays checked only for the
duration of the channel balancing. Once the gain channel balancing has finished, the software
automatically disables this feature, and checkbox is unchecked. Please note that when channel
balancing, channel B aligns to channel A. Good channel balance is obtained by exposing the camera to
a uniform light source under 80% saturation. If the camera is in Async trigger mode and the trigger
frequency is low (or slow), it may take longer to collect enough frames to balance the channel. Another
condition in which Channel Balance may not work properly is when you use the high-speed shutter
under low-frequency light, such as fluorescent light. In both cases, the channel balance will time-out in
10 seconds if the balance is not reached.
While the channel balancing is occurring the configuration software may seem to freeze. The software
may become unresponsive for about ten seconds during this process.
3.4.7 The Gain
Offset Level
The Channel A offset level is the master, channel B is the slave. The offset level box, shown in
Figure 19, allows you to change Channel A offset voltage. To change the value, click on the up or down
arrow, or enter the value directly into the box. The camera itself automatically adjusts Channel B offset
voltage, every other frame. Please note that offset level control is not available in scan modes C and D
