Binning and sub-sampling access
The binning and sub-sampling modes described in the last two chapters are only
available as pure binning or pure sub-sampling modes. A combination of both is
not possible.
As you can see there is a vast amount of possible combinations. But the number
of available Format_7 modes is limited and lower than the possible combina-
tions.
Thus access to the binning and sub-sampling modes is implemented in the fol-
lowing way:
•
Format_7 Mode_0
is fixed and can not be changed
•
A maximum of 7 individual Allied Vision modes can be mapped to
For-
mat_7 Mode_1
to
Mode_7
Figure 102: Mapping of possible Format_7 modes to F7M1...F7M7
•
Mappings can be stored via register (see Chapter
on page 349) and are uploaded automatically into the camera on camera
reset.
•
The
default settings
(per factory) in the Format_7 modes are listed in the
following table
Note
Changing sub-sampling modes involves the generation of new
shading reference images due to a change in the image size.
