What does high- and low-gain mode mean on my FLIR Ax5?

On the FLIR Ax5, the gain mode decides which measurement range is active. There are two gain modes for the FLIR Ax5: high gain and low gain:

  • High-gain mode: This is the measurement range for lower temperatures.
  • Low-gain mode: This is the measurement range for higher temperatures.

The GenICam register that controls the gain mode is called SensorGainMode: for information about it, consult the Ax5 GenICam ICD.  

Note that some cameras have only one measurement range, and thus only one gain mode is available.
