Partial Scan (horizontal cropping)
Genie also can crop the acquisition horizontally by grabbing less pixels on each horizontal line. Additionally a
horizontal offset value will start the grab from any pixel count, as shown in the following figure. Note that
horizontal cropping does not increase the maximum frame rate due to the CCD readout architecture.

Window ROI
Vertical and Horizontal Cropping can be combined to grab only a region of interest (ROI). Besides eliminating post
acquisition image cropping done by software in the host computer, a windowed ROI grab reduces the bandwidth
required on the Gigabit Ethernet link since less pixels are transmitted. See
