Binning Mode Commands
Binning Mode shifts SU320CSX camera imaging from a 320x256 to a 160x128 pixel mode of operation.
Enabling Binning Mode produces a like sized image with each 2x2 bin equal to the average of the 4
individual pixels. To maintain compatibility with video and Camera Link signals, binned pixel results
consist of the binned block’s pixels being set to the same value (value is repeated), and the full frame
image is still sent.
Binning in a PDA is unlike binning on a CCD: The charge is read individually and summed in camera
firmware. Noise improvement comes from the summing and averaging of the pixels: a 2x2 pixel bin has
root(4) = 2x noise improvement.
To maintain data transportation consistency, the image size does not change: the block of binned pixels
are given the same digital value.
