gain setting camera

[Johanvk]

I moved from color (Canon) DSLR camera's to more advanced ZWO black and white camera's with color filters. Now I have to handle gain and offset instead of ISO. In theory I think I understand very well what it's about, and took notice of the literature. In practice at the telescope I have to rely on trial and error with test exposures.  Can someone point a (reference to a) cookbook-like procedure to me, which lead to the optimal setting of gain and offset?

Not a book, but this lecture is very informative:  

 

Hope this helps.
