gain units question

jamesrc

Hello,

I'm trying to use something that needs the gain of my ASI1600MM camera expressed in e-/ADU. The language has me a bit confused. Anyway here is a quote from an advisor telling me where to get the information I need:

"They (ZWO) have a graph for each camera showing the relationship between the gain number you set in the camera driver, and the actual gain in e-/ADU"

I need the location of this graph, please. Or a source of similar information.

Thank you

James

Hi James,

you find this information in the user manual of ZWO's cameras.

That comes with the camera, or can be downloaded from ZWO's homepage.

E.g. you find that information for the ASI1600 on page 9:
