Piranha ES-xx User Manual03-032-20070-02 Teledyne DALSA58Calibrating Analog OffsetPurpose: Instead of manually setting the analog offset to a specific value,the camera can d etermine appropriate offset values. Thiscommand calculates and averages each tap’s pixels w ithin theROI and sets the offset to achieve the specified average targetvalue.Syntax: cao t iSyntax Elements: tTap selection. Use 0 for all taps or 1 to number of CCD tapsfor ind ivid ual tap selection.iAverage target value in a range from 1 to 255DN (12 bitLSB).N otes: Perform analog offset calibration before performing FPN andPRN U coefficients. To use this command , CCD shift d irection should becontrolled internally, either scd 0 or 1Example: cao 1 50Updating the Gain ReferenceTo update the analog gain reference:Purpose: Sets the current analog gain setting to be the 0d B point. This isuseful after tap gain matching allow ing you to change the gain onall taps by the same amount.Syntax: ugrCalibrating the Camera to Remove Non-Uniformity(Flat Field Correction)Flat Field Correction OverviewThis cam era has the ability to calcu late correction coefficients in ord er to rem ove non -u niform ity in the im age w hen operating in TDI Mod e.
