ImageMode
BinningHorizontalMode – Enum – R/W
Determines whether the result of binned pixels is averaged or summed up.
Changing BinningHorizontalMode also changes BinningVerticalMode.
BinningVerticalMode – Enum – R/W
Determines whether the result of binned pixels is averaged or summed up.
Changing BinningVerticalMode also changes BinningHorizontalMode .
BinningX – Uint32 – R/W
The horizontal binning factor. Binning is the summing of charge (for CCD sen-
sors) or gray value (for CMOS sensors) of adjacent pixels on a sensor, giving a
lower resolution image, but at full region of interest. Image sensitivity is also
improved due to summed pixel charge / gray value.
BinningY – Uint32 – R/W
The vertical binning factor. Binning is the summing of charge (for CCD sensors)
or gray value (for CMOS sensors) of adjacent pixels on a sensor, giving a lower
resolution image, but at full region of interest. Image sensitivity is also
improved due to summed pixel charge / gray value.
Sum [Default] Binning is accomplished by summing the charge / gray
value of adjacent pixels on sensor
Average Binning is accomplished by averaging the charge / gray value of
adjacent pixels on sensor. This increases SNR by SQRT(number of
binned pixels)

Range: [1 – Camera dependent] Default: 1
Note

• BinningX and DecimationHorizontal are mutually exclu-
sive. Setting BinningX > 1 forces DecimationHorizontal
to 1.
• Color cameras only: Color information is lost while bin-
ning is active due to summing of adjacent different fil-
tered pixels on the Bayer filter array.
Range: [1 – Camera dependent] Default: 1
