Camera control:                                           General settings:

Resolution:                                                  1280 x 1024 pixels or 1810 x 1442 pixel

                                                                  interpolated, software sub-pixel interpolation, doubling

                                                                  of pixels to 2,62 M pixels

Illumination:                                                 Default or user specified settings

Focus Finder:                                               Detector to find the right focus level

Show under-/over-exposure:                         Starts the exposure analysis of the current image

Adjustment of color:                                    Manual control of color and saturation, grayscale

Fast B/W Preview:                                       For maximum frame rate

Auto exposure:                                            Starts from the minimum exposure time and is limited

                                                                  to exposure time of 1/9 sec

Sharpen image on acquire:                           A sharpen algorithm is used to calculate the final

                                                                  image, soft margins, or sharp margins with enhanced

                                                                  sharpness

Histogram:                                                  Shows the intensity level of the pixels of

                                                                  the whole image

Gamma:                                                      Matching to monitor

Exposure:                                                    Controls the exposure time

Brightness:                                                  Under automatic conditions the brightness can be

                                                                  changed, the exposure time is controlled by the

                                                                  automatic exposure function

Gain:                                                           Adjustable gain (0 to 99)

User settings:                                              Illumination, white balance, restore settings, delete

                                                                  settings, new settings, save settings, save changes
