Thanks Greg,

These machine vision cameras have no readout and are driven from a GUI via USB / Firewire. The GUI I'm using for this particular camera has settings for:
Gamma .01 - 2.56 (which I set to 1)
Blue Gain 0-1023 (adjusted to get the on screen image as close to grey for the particular light source under which I'm shooting)
Red Gain 0-1023
Brightness 160 - 842 ( adjusted to 160 ~I think this is the same as CCD sensor gain and thus what I need to correlate to ASA)
Exposure .01ms - 3mins  (I'm using this to bracket the images)

The lens I'm using has a manual iris for setting aperture. I'm dividing the focal length of the lens by the diameter of the aperture to derive the f/stop value.

I think I just need to experiment with setting the brightness value to its lowest setting under a constant light source and see what kind of values i get from the HDR shots using a constant ASA value in HDRgen and adjusting this value until I get some agreement between measured brightness and HDR image brightness. I'f I'm lucky a brightness value setting of 160 will equal an ASA of 160:)

Thanks again for you help Greg. Also, thanks to those who replied to my previous posts on color channel masking...great help!

Cheers,
Chris
