Unity Gain vs. Max Dynamic Range.
Posted: Sat May 23, 2020 6:02 pm
Hi,
I watched Dr. Glover's YouTube presentation (several times actually, my learning process is primarily an osmotic one).
This inspired me to run the SC sensor analysis followed by the Smart Histogram. I noticed the SH gave me two options for analysis, Unity Gain (UG) and Max Dynamic Range (MDR).
I understand UG is one electron = one ADU, but don't understand why/how this is important to me, and especially since an MDR profile is available. It would seem (in light of my very nascent skills) that MDR would be the setting.
In other words, when would you not want MDR?
Also, UG. When would that be preferrable over MDR?
Thank you for your time.
