Gain

The Gain camera feature allows you to increase the brightness of the images output by the camera.

Increasing the gain increases all pixel values of the image.

To adjust the gain value automatically, use the Gain Auto feature.

Using the Feature

Prerequisites

Configuring Gain Settings

  1. If the camera's gain control is user-settable, set the GainSelector to one of the following values: Otherwise, you don't need to set the GainSelector parameter.
  2. Set the GainRawGain parameter to the required value.
    The minimum and maximum parameter values vary depending on the camera model, the pixel format chosen, and the Binning settings.

"Raw" and Absolute Gain Values

On some camera models, the gain must be entered as a "raw" value on an integer scale. The camera needs the raw value for its internal processing mechanism. The raw value, however, isn't the same as the actual gain value, which is expressed in decibels (dB).

In the camera-specific Gain Properties table, you can find a formula to calculate the absolute gain (in dB) from the raw gain value.

Analog and Digital Gain

Analog gain is applied before the signal from the camera sensor is converted into digital values. Digital gain is applied after the conversion, i.e., it is basically a multiplication of the digitized values.

Depending on your camera model, the mechanisms to control analog and digital gain can vary:

aAnalog gain / digital gain.

Sample Code

// Set the "raw" gain value to 400
// If you want to know the resulting gain in dB, use the formula given in this topic
camera.GainRaw.SetValue(400);
// Set the gain to 4.2 dB
camera.Gain.SetValue(4.2);
INodeMap& nodemap = camera.GetNodeMap();
// Set the "raw" gain value to 400
// If you want to know the resulting gain in dB, use the formula given in this topic
CIntegerPtr(nodemap.GetNode("GainRaw"))->SetValue(400);
// Set the gain to 4.2 dB
CFloatPtr(nodemap.GetNode("Gain"))->SetValue(4.2);
// Set the "raw" gain value to 400
// If you want to know the resulting gain in dB, use the formula given in this topic
camera.Parameters[PLCamera.GainRaw].SetValue(400);
// Set the gain to 4.2 dB
camera.Parameters[PLCamera.Gain].SetValue(4.2);
// Set the "raw" gain value to 400
// If you want to know the resulting gain in dB, use the formula given in this topic
Pylon.DeviceSetIntegerFeature(hdev, "GainRaw", 400);
// Set the gain to 4.2 dB
Pylon.DeviceSetFloatFeature(hdev, "Gain", 4.2);
/* Macro to check for errors */
#define CHECK(errc) if (GENAPI_E_OK != errc) printErrorAndExit(errc)
GENAPIC_RESULT errRes = GENAPI_E_OK;  /* Return value of pylon methods */
/* Set the "raw" gain value to 400 */
/* If you want to know the resulting gain in dB, use the formula given in this topic */
errRes = PylonDeviceSetIntegerFeature(hdev, "GainRaw", 400);
CHECK(errRes);
/* Set the gain to 4.2 dB */
errRes = PylonDeviceSetFloatFeature(hdev, "Gain", 4.2);
CHECK(errRes);

You can also use the pylon Viewer to easily set the parameters.
