Autofunction AOI
The table below illustrates the advanced register for autofunction AOI.
AOI means area of interest.
Use this feature to select the image area (work area) on which the following
autofunctions work:
• auto shutter
• auto gain
• auto white balance
As a reference it uses a grid of up to 65534 sample points equally spread over
the AOI.
Note
L
Autofunction AOI is independent from Format_7 AOI settings.
If you switch off autofunction AOI, work area position and
work area size follow the current active image size.
To switch off autofunctions, carry out following actions in the
order shown:
1. Uncheck Show AOI check box (SmartView Ctrl2 tab).
2. Uncheck Enable check box (SmartView Ctrl2 tab).
Switch off Auto modi (e.g. Shutter and/or Gain) (SmartView
Ctrl2 tab).
