Select the binning mode for a single exposure in MaxIm LE on the Settings tab of the
Camera Control window.
Note:
MaxIm automatically adjusts the Width and Height fields to represent the
size of the resulting image. In the example above 2x2 binning has been selected.
This reduces the size of the resulting image file from the QSI 504 from 768x512
to 384x256.
You can also select different binning modes when setting up a sequence of images under
the Sequence tab of the Camera Control window.
In the example above, the red, green and blue filtered images will be taken with 2x2
binning. The luminance image through “Filter 4” will be taken with 1x1 binning. Note that in
this sequence the color images are set for an exposure of 240 seconds. This would require
a separate set of 240 second dark frames for the color exposures in addition to the 360
second dark frames for the 1x1 luminance frames.
