IrisMode = Video/DCIris/PIrisAuto results in undefined, “race to
target” behavior.
IrisAutoTarget [Integer] R/W
Controls the general lightness or darkness of the auto iris feature; specifically
the target mean histogram level of the image—0 being black, 100 being white.
IrisMode [Enum] R/W
Sets the auto iris mode. Valid when ExposureMode = Timed or Piece-
WiseLinearHDR.
IrisVideoLevel [Integer] R
Current video iris level, which is the strength of the video signal coming from
the camera. Dependent on lens type.
IrisVideoLevelMax [Integer] R/W
Video-type lenses only. Limits the maximum driving voltage for closing the lens
iris. Typically, this will be 150; however, it may vary depending on the lens ref-
erence voltage. A lower minimum value slows the adjustment time but prevents
excessive overshoot.
Note

The camera must be acquiring images in
order for the auto algorithm to update.
