Banner PresencePLUS P4 EDGE 1.3 Series - Manual (Page 32)

Description Field
• Running -- Auto exposure is currently running.
• Finished -- Auto exposure has run and is complete.
• Image too dark -- Auto exposure could not brighten the image enough. Add more
light to the inspection, or increase the exposure manually.
• Image too bright -- Auto exposure could not darken the image enough. Remove
light to the inspection, or decrease the exposure manually.
Exposure time is the amount of time the camera allows light to energize the image
chip. Increasing the exposure time (that is, moving the slider to the right) allows
more light to energize the image chip, which brightens the image. Exposure Time
Gain is an electronic boost to the image signal. Increasing gain (that is, moving
the slider to the right) increases image brightness without increasing exposure
time. Gain
Note: Gain brightens both the light pixels and dark pixels. High gain values
will make the image appear grainy.
4.4 Trigger Tab
An external trigger is used to tell the Sensor when to capture an image. You can modify the validity and timing
of the trigger by setting the parameters on the Trigger tab.
Note: Parameters set in the Trigger tab are stored in the inspection file and can be different for
each inspection.
