Black level
•When using long exposure, the sensor black level drifts depending on exposure time and gain.
Gain
•The sensor will not reach full saturation if you use high analog gain in combination with very bright scenes. This effect occurs especially when the sensor is overexposed.
Workaround: Avoid overexposing the sensor and select an appropriate black level offset.
ROI
•The frame rate does not increase by the use of a horizontal ROI.
Binning
•Horizontal and vertical binning can only be used jointly.
•For 10-bit pixel formats, only sensor binning in “Average” mode is possible.
•For 12-bit pixel formats, only sensor binning in “DeviceSpecific” mode is possible.
Due to the device-specific implementation, the advantage of 2x2 binning is reduced (compared to sensor binning in “Average” mode). Compared to other sensors, sensor binning in ‘DeviceSpecific’ mode offers metrological advantages, but these are less significant. Sensor binning in “DeviceSpecific” mode has the following advantages compared to regular readout:
oLess temporal dark noise and higher dynamic range
o50% increase in signal-to-noise ratio
o2x higher saturation capacity
Decimation
•The model only supports FPGA decimation and no sensor decimation.
Trigger
•The model does not support triggering in firmware version 3.93. This feature will be added in a future firmware update.
Line scan
•The model does not support line scan.
