6.11 Miscellaneous Properties
6.11.1 PixelFormat
The property PixelFormat (in category ImageFormatControl ) sets the pixel format. Table 6.2 shows
the number of bits per pixel to are required for a pixel format. Fig. 6.5 shows the bit alignment
of the packed pixel formats.
The Mono10 and Mono12 must not be selected as these settings don’t produce
valid images.

6.11.2 Readout Mode
The readout mode (see also Section 4.1.1) can be set by the property Trigger_Interleave in
category AcquisitionControl . Generally there is a slightly better image quality with sequential
readout ( Trigger_Interleave =False). For maximal frame rate Trigger_Interleave should be set to
True. For maximal image quality it is recommended to only use one Trigger_Interleave setting
and calibrate the FPN Correction (see Section 6.5) for this setting.
