The three numbers I think you're talking about are the RGB numbers. One is for Red, green and blue. These three values make up the color of your target. I believe however that this is not the color that you want for the AEC (automatic exposure control) calibration. The steps that we took for the calibration are...
1) set up the red, green, or yellow target
2) grab a frame
2) click on the target to highlight to make sure that most of it is recognized (highlighted)
3) click on the Red, Yellow, or Green button at the top part of the screen to calibrate it for that target color. If it works sucessfully the program should give you a number in the box rather than the ???. So you will actually only get one number per target calibration.
After calibrating for all three targets, you should have the three numbers that you need to plug into the default camera code.
That's all we got up to for now since we can't seem to calibrate for all the three target colors.
