Beamage-3.0 User Manual Revision 6.0 41
5.2.6. Gain
The “Gain” setting allows the user to set a numerical gain on the captured image. The gain must be
between 1 and 10. If the pixel value is over the maximum ADC level (For 12-bit  2
12
= 4096), the pixel
value will be topped at the maximum ADC level.
5.2.7. ADC Level
The ADC level is the pixel’s depth which can be set to 12 or 10 bit. In the 12 bit mode, each pixel value is
on 2
12
= 4096 levels while the 10 bit mode is on 2
10
= 1024 levels. The 12 bit mode has a slower frame
rate.
Warning
If the Beamage-3.0 is set in 12 bit mode, it will slow the frame rate.
5.2.8. Pixel Multiplication Factor (PMF)
If the Beamage-3.0 camera is operated with an optical component that has magnification properties (such
as a magnifying lens, a UV Converter or an IR Adaptor), the Pixel Multiplication Factor must be adjusted
in order to have the exact beam dimensions. The
“Pixel Multiplication Factor” section can be found at the
bottom of the “Setup” tab.
Tip
The default value for the Pixel Multiplication Factor is 1.
Figure 5-8 Pixel Multiplication Factor
It is possible to manually set a value for the PMF. Simply enter the desired value in the white box and
press enter. The beam dimensions will be adjusted accordingly. If a camera lens is used with the
Beamage-3.0 camera, it is possible to follow the camera lens calibration steps by clicking on the
“Calibrate” button. This will open the “Camera Lens” tab. Refer to section 0 for more information about the
camera lens calibration
