section and how to use them.
Relevant Features:
The Linea HS standard and high-speed models are capable of being run in four different modes:
TDI, TDI HDR (High Dynamic Range), TDI HFW (High Full Well) and TDI Area mode.
The Multifield camera is capable of being run in the following modes: TDI RGB, TDI Red, TDI
Green, TDI Blue, TDI Red Green, TDI Red Blue, TDI Green Blue and TDI Area.
The Linea HS 32k super resolution model is capable of being run in five different modes: 32k SR
Detail Restored, 32k SR Mapped, TDI, TDI Area mode and TDI Extended Area.
TDI Mode
TDI mode is the default operating mode for the camera. The camera combines multiple exposures
of an object as it passes each row in the array into one high sensitivity image. In this mode the
main 128 stage array is used, and the full 300 kHz line rate can be achieved.
TDI Stage Selections
When operating in different TDI modes the number of stages in the array is adjusted, resulting in
different responsivities.
In TDI mode, the main array is configurable to 128 or 64 stages; secondary arrays are not used.

It is important to execute flat field correction based on the number of stages in the final
application, since pixel behavior changes with stage selection.
