To compensate the defective pixels, please do following steps (you can use the tab "Pixel Histogram" to show the gray scale values):

1. Select the value "PixelCompensationLevelRaw", which indicates the percentage level from which a pixel is considered as defective.

2. Over "int PixelCompensationDetect()", click on the right mouse button and confirm with "Execute".

   
   ImpactControlCenter - Execute PixelCompensationDetect
   
   ImpactControlCenter - PixelCompensationDetect executed

3. Now, activate the PixelCompensation by setting "PixelCompensationMode" to "On."

   
   ImpactControlCenter - PixelCompensationMode "On"

This setting can be saved in the camera via "int PixelCompensationSave()" so that the pixel compensation is system independent.
