Note
•
Dual readout mode uses two-separated readout Amp whose performance is
not perfectly same. Due to the readout Amp characteristics variation, you
may see little intensity gap between right side and left side in one image
even though the fine adjustment is done at factory before shipping. Single
readout mode is recommended to achieve the best possible image quality.

DETAIL ON CCD SCANNING (SCAN MODE)
Select either normal readout or binning readout.
(1) Normal readout [SMD N]
Electrical charges from the CCD are readout in the normal, standard scanning. The
time required for CCD readout of all of the CCD’s pixels is approximately 12.2 ms at
single output mode and 6.7 ms at dual output mode.
(2) 2×2 binning readout [SMD S, SPX 2]
Electrical charges from the CCD are readout in 2×2 binning. The time required for CCD
readout of all of the CCD’s pixels is approximately 6.5 ms at single output mode and
3.7 ms at dual output mode.
(3) 4×4 binning readout [SMD S, SPX 4]
Electrical charges from the CCD are readout in 4×4 binning. The time required for CCD
readout of all of the CCD’s pixels is approximately 3.6 ms at single output mode and
2.2 ms at dual output mode.
(4) 8×8 binning readout [SMD S, SPX 8]
Electrical charges from the CCD are readout in 4×4 binning. The time required for CCD
readout of all of the CCD’s pixels is approximately 2.2 ms at single output mode and
1.5 ms at dual output mode.
(5) Sub-array readout [SMD A]
In this mode, only a required area is readout at the normal speed while the remaining
areas are rapidly cleared. This operation allows the frame rate to be increased.
(6) Line scan readout [SMD L]
In this mode, only a required area is readout at the normal speed while the remaining
lines are rapidly cleared. This operation allows the frame rate to be increased.
