Configuration of the camera
To switch on
Quick Format Change Mode
do the following:
1.
Set UpdTiming to 2.
2.
Set UpdActive to 1.
3.
Be aware that all parameter values have to be set within 10 seconds.
Automatic reset of the UpdActive flag
With
Quick Format Change Mode
you normally have to clear the
UpdActive
flag
after all desired parameters have been set. Every time the
PARAMUPD_TIMING
register is written to with the
UpdActive
flag set to 1 a 10 second time-out is
started / restarted. If the time-out passes before you clear the
UpdActive
flag,
the
UpdActive
flag is cleared automatically and all parameter changes since set-
ting the
UpdActive
flag to 1 become active automatically.
Low-noise binning mode (only 2 x H-binning)
This register enables/disables low-noise binning mode.
This means: an average (and not a sum) of the luminance values is calculated
within the FPGA.
The image is therefore darker than with the usual binning mode, but the signal-
to-noise ratio is better (approximately a factor of
2
) than without binning.
