5. Readout Speed
Retiga-SRV can be set to various readout speeds for better read noise performance. When changing
the readout speed through software, iGlo will show the speed through the readout indicator.
Examples of readout speed indicators are shown in Figure ?.

6.Bit Depth
The Retiga-SRV allows for two image capture formats, 8-bit or 12-bit images. Selecting the image
capture mode in your software will automatically update iGlo with one of the icons shown in Figure ?.

7. Sensitivity Mode
Retiga-SRV supports two light modes: (1) High Speed mode - for all types of imaging including
brightfield, dark-field and fluorescence, offering high frame rates whilst keeping the anti-blooming
protection; and (2) High Sensitivity mode - enhances the quantum efficiency above 600nm by
reducing the frame rate and turning off anti-blooming protection. When using High Sensivitiy Mode,
it is recommended that you only use it when taking extended exposures with very minimal light. iGlo
will display which mode you are in, whether it be High Speed Mode (Figure ?a) or High Sensitivity
mode (Figure ?b).

Triggering the Retiga-SRV Extenally
Externally triggering the Retiga-SRV provides a sophisticated method of imaging and synchronizing
your camera to external parts of your system, offering advanced capabilities. To use this feature
effectively, it is important to understand the operation and configuration of your camera.
The External Trigger Port of the Retiga-SRV is a 6-pin miniature circular DIN connector. This port
accepts digital logic signals that are used to control the camera's integration. The External Trigger Port
is optically isolated from the camera's electronics. For this reason, the user must provide power to the
External Trigger Port. See Appendix A for a pinout and schematic diagram of the External Trigger Port.
