Hello. I'm building a copy of a machine that I've built before. My camera is a Jai CV-A50. My PCI-1405 image aquisition boards returns a maximum luminance value to 254, regardless of how bright the image is. I have tried all the settings in Measurement & Automation Explorer, but I can't get a 255. Any suggestions?
Well, this is the 5th machine of this model that I have built. My labview application requires a 255 as it is written. I could change the labview program, but I have an installed base of machines for I need to keep the software common. Why would this sample of the PCI-1405 not return a 255, while all the previous ones did?
OK, I was able to solve the problem by reducing the "blue" gain to a value less than the red & green gains. For some reason, if the 3 gains are equal I get only 254. If the blue gain is less than the red & green gains, I get 255.
