Gain Style:
Default = Clip Average
The autogain algorithm of your camera will set brightness to best display the
exposure window (which can be set on the IQeye7xx series with the Exposure
Window Page.
The gain style setting chooses which pixels within the exposure window will be
used by the autogain algorithm for setting brightness levels.
peakdetect: Uses only the brightest pixels in the exposure window, making sure
they're appropriately-adjusted for bright pixels. This is a good setting for watching
bright areas.
darkdetect: uses only the darkest pixels in the exposure window, making sure
they're appropriately-adjusted for dark pixels. This is a good setting for outdoor
scenes where you want to watch a shaded region.
average: uses all of the pixels in the exposure window This is a good setting for
indoor scenes where there are no very bright or very dark areas to skew the gain
calculations.
clipaverage: uses all pixels except for the very darkest and brightest pixels. This
is a good setting for outdoor scenes where you want to ignore both sky and
shadows and to watch a region of intermediate brightness levels. This is also a
good setting for interior scenes.
