Basic functions
The AM-1600GE/AB-1600GE camera is a progressive scan camera with a 16-mega pixel
monochrome or Bayer mosaic color CCD. The interface to host PC is via Gigabit Ethernet.
Both models output digital video as 8-, 10- or 12-bit. The color version, AB-1600GE, outputs
raw Bayer video. The camera also features several pre-processing functions (see chapter 8.4).
The camera has a partial scan function selectable as user programmable. It also features
vertical binning mode (AM-1600GE only) for a faster frame rate and higher sensitivity.
There are 4 trigger modes in addition to continuous operation. Edge Pre-Select (EPS), Pulse
Width Control (PWC), Sequence (in EPS mode) and Delayed Readout (in EPS and PWC modes)
are available trigger modes.
The functions are described in detail below.
8.3.1
Vertical binning functions (AM-1600GE only)
This function is only available on the AM-1600GE camera.
The AM-1600GE incorporates the vertical binning mode described below.
The vertical binning mode is a function where the signal charges from 2 adjacent pixels in
vertical direction are added together and read out as one pixel. Binning results in half the
vertical resolution but a higher frame rate and higher sensitivity.
The frame rate of vertical binning is calculated as follows.
1 line in 2x binning mode = 3200 (clk) x 33.333333ns = 106.66

Total lines = 1665 lines
Frame rate = 1/(3200*1665*33.333333/1000000000)=5.63 fps
