4.3.5 Image Size (AOI) Workspace Registers
4.3.5.1 Scan Mode Control
This register sets the current CCD readout (scan) mode. The default CCD
scanning mode for all Bobcat cameras is progressive, where all pixels within
the same exposure period are read out simultaneously. Some CCD imagers
allow a sub-sampled scan (center only), where only a sub-section of the pixels
are readout, thus providing a higher camera frame rate.
