Offset_pc 0.0 % 100.0 % 1.0 % - A float property defining the analogue sensor offset in percent of the allowed range (sensor specific). This property influences the average grey level when no light reaches the sensor
OffsetCorrection_pc 0.00 % 0.00 % 0.01 % - A float property defining an ADDITIONAL analogue sensor offset in percent of the allowed range (sensor specific) PER COLOR CHANNEL. Together with value of the property 'Offset_pc' this property influences the average grey level when no light reaches the sensor. The value at index 0 applies to the green component of the red-green rows of the bayer pattern The value at index 1 applies to the red component of the bayer pattern The value at index 2 applies to the green component of the blue-green rows of the bayer pattern The value at index 3 applies to the blue component of the bayer pattern
