8.1.9 Binning / Subsampling
Notice
Binning and Subsampling are only available at monochrome cameras.
Baumer HXC cameras support horizontal Binning.
In binning, horizontally neighboring pixels are aggregated and reported to the software as
one single "superpixel".
When subsampling, only certain pixels are read out. (Subsampling 2x2 = every second
pixel in every second line.)
