Vertical Binning
This function is only available for CM-200MCL camera.
Binning mode (Command VB) is a function where the signal charge from 2 adjacent (vertical)
pixels are added together and read out as one pixel. Binning results in half vertical resolution and
higher frame rate. By adding 2 pixels together, the sensitivity is doubled. The charge
accumulated in 2 adjacent lines is added together in the horizontal CCD register. This is done by
providing two pulses to the vertical CCD register for each line readout. Vertical binning can not
be used together with the partial scanning.
