3.9 Image Parameters Panel
The Image Parameters panel lets you configure the camera for your specific application.
You can set up binning, image size, number of taps, image correction files, black level, and
so on.

3.9.1 Binning
Binning combines charges from adjacent pixels to enable faster readout speeds and
improved signal to noise ratios. It also reduces spatial resolution.
1.
Horizontal binning combines adjacent pixels (2x or 4x) in a horizontal direction. It
effectively creates larger pixels and less resolution, but does not affect the frame
rate.
•
Select the 2x radio button to combine two adjacent pixels.
•
Select the 4x radio button to combine four adjacent pixels.
•
No binning occurs when 1x is selected.
2.
Vertical binning is a read-out mode where several image lines simultaneously
clock into the horizontal CCD register before readout. This results in summing the
charges of adjacent pixels (in the vertical direction) from two lines. Vertical
binning reduces the vertical resolution by a factor of two or four and almost
doubles/quadruples the frame rate.
•
Select the 2x radio button to combine two lines (the corresponding pixels
from each line).
•
Select the 4x radio button to combine four lines (the corresponding pixels
from each line).
•
No binning occurs when selecting 1x.
