Adept AdeptSight User Guide - Manual (Page 225)

Each line displays the minimum allowable value for that property, a bar indicating the current value, the
maximum allowable value , and the numeric value of the current level. You can change the current value
of a property by clicking the arrows at either side of the bar, by sliding the bar, or by typing in a new value.
Note that some of the minimum and maximum values, particularly for Gain, will differ depending on the
camera being used.
Adjust Exposure, Gain, and Black Level (in that order) to improve the quality of acquired images.
l
The Exposure time setting determines the time interval during which the sensor is exposed to light.
Choose an exposure time setting that takes into account whether you want to acquire images of
still or moving objects:
o If the object is not moving, you can choose a high exposure time setting (i.e., a long expo-
sure interval).
o Note that high exposure time settings may reduce the camera’s maximum allowed acqui-
sition frame rate and may cause artifacts to appear in the image.
o If the object is moving, choose a low exposure time setting to prevent motion blur.
As a general rule, choose a short enough exposure time to make sure that the image of the
object does not move by more than one pixel during exposure.
A shorter exposure time setting may require a higher illumination level.
