Operation
For a color CCD, the upper-left Bayer pattern changes, depending on the start point location. If the start point
is the odd row, the upper-left Bayer pattern is G. In RG if the start point is the even row, the upper-left bayer
pattern is B in BG.

Full Scan Area 2x2 Binning
TM/TMC-4200 CL has 2x2 binning of the full scan area. In full scan 2x2 binning mode, pixel (i, j) includes all the
information of pixel (2i-1, 2j-1), (2i-1, 2j), (2i, 2j-1) and (2i, 2j) in normal full scan mode (where i, j=1 2, ...,
1024). In this mode vertical binning makes frame transfer faster than normal scan mode, however, due to the
mixture of pixel information, the camera resolution is low in this mode, and the Bayer pattern CCD camera
loses color information.
