Auto shutter
In combination with auto white balance, PIKE cameras are equipped with
auto-shutter feature.
When enabled, the auto shutter adjusts the shutter within the default shutter
limits or within those set in advanced register F1000360h in order to reach
the reference brightness set in auto exposure register. Target grey level
parameter in SmartView corresponds to Auto_exposure register 0xF0F00804
(IIDC). Increasing the auto exposure value increases the average brightness
in the image and vice versa.
The applied algorithm uses a proportional plus integral controller (PI control-
ler) to achieve minimum delay with zero overshot.
