Automatic reset of the UpdActive flag
With
Quick Format Change Mode
you
normally
have
to
clear
the
UpdActive
flag
after
all
desired
parameters
have
been
set.
Every
time
the
PARAMUPD_TIMING
register
is
written
to
with
the
UpdActive
flag
set
to
1
a
10
second
time-out
is
started
/
restarted.
If
the
time-out
passes
before
you
clear
the
UpdActive
flag,
the
UpdActive
flag
is
cleared
automatically
and
all
parameter
changes
since
setting
the
UpdActive
flag
to
1
become
active
automatically.
Low-noise binning mode (only 2 × H-binning)
This
register
enables/disables
low-noise
binning
mode.
This
means:
an
average
(and
not
a
sum)
of
the
luminance
values
is
calculated
within
the
FPGA.
The
image
is
therefore
darker
than
with
the
usual
binning
mode,
but
the
signal-
to-noise
ratio
is
better
(approximately
a
factor
of
2
)
than
without
binning.
Software feature control (disable LEDs / switch single-tap
and dual-tap)
The
software
feature
control
register
allows
to
enable
or
disable
some
features
of
the
camera
(e.g.
disable
LEDs
or
switch
single-tap
and
dual-tap
for
Pike
F-1100,
F-1600).
The
settings
are
stored
permanently
within
the
camera
and
do
not
depend
on
any
user
set.
