Quick Start

Control panel

Cameras

• Choose the 3D camera you want to connect to in the drop down menu.
• Click "Connect" or "Disconnect" when you want to connect/disconnect.

Capture

• Capture a "Single" or multiple ("HDR") frames based on the "Frames" settings.
• "HDR" is used when multiple frame settings are selected.
• "Live": Use this mode to quickly position and make initial adjustments.

Histogram

• Use the histogram (shortcut H) to understand and get the right exposure.
• Use logarithmic view (shortcut Shift + H) to visualize exposure stops.

Frames

• Exposure Time: A higher value will let more light into the camera.
• Iris / Aperture Step: A higher value will let more light into the camera.
• Brightness: Boost lighting for long distances/to overcome ambient lighting 
• Gain: Increased gain can be used for darker scenes to get better data.
