5.4.2.3 Camera link output (1 tap output)
If 1 tap output is selected, monochrome, Bayer (8-bits, 10-bits or 12-bits) or RGB (8-bits
only) output can be output through Camera Link interface without dividing the image.
For 1 tap output, the frame rate is 34fps.

5.4.2 Partial scan readout (AOI) (Commands: STL, ETL)
The AOI works like partial scanning. By using the AOI function, a faster frame rate can be
achieved. The start line of the image (Offset Y) and the image height (Height) can be set as
desired. However, the start pixel and/or end pixel of each line cannot be changed. In the
AM-200CL and AB-200CL RGB output, The Offset Y and Height can be set in 1 line
increments. For the AB-200CL Bayer mode, output can be set in 2-line steps.
STL: Offset Y (Read out start line)
ETL: Height (Readout line numbers)

Note for AOI setting
In the AM-200CL and AB-200CL, the frame rate setting has priority. If AOI is used, the frame
rate setting should use fewer lines than that of AOI height.
For AOI setting, if the upper TAP and lower TAP have the same duration, the fastest frame
rate can be achieved. Thus, if the AOI is centered vertically within the image, the frame
