6.1.1. Analog / Digital Gain Settings

ARTCAM-991SWIR is compatible with analog and digital gain.

Setting value of gain on software can be set from 0 ~ 420, and the gain will change from 0.0dB ~

42.0dB accordingly. Gain can be calculated by the following formula:

Gain[dB] = value / 10.0[dB]

Digital gain will activate when setting value of gain > 180.

The graph below shows the relationship between setting value of gain and its magnification[dB].
