Description of the data path
2 x horizontal binning and 4 x horizontal binning
Binning mode Guppy F-036B Guppy F-503B/C
2 x horizontal binning 2 pixel signals from 2 vertical neigh-
boring pixels are combined and their
signals are averaged.
2 pixel signals from 2 vertical
adjacent same-color pixels are
combined and their signals are added
or averaged.
4 x horizontal binning 4 pixel signals from 4 vertical neigh-
boring pixels are combined and their
signals are averaged.
4 pixel signals from 4 vertical
adjacent same-color pixels are
combined and their signals are added
or averaged.
Averaged? or Additive? Only averaged Default: additive
There is also an average binning mode
implemented. To activate this mode
see Chapter Low noise binning mode
(2 x and 4 x binning) (only Guppy F-
503) on page 256
When the signals are averaged, the image will not be brighter than without binning.
When the signals are added, the image will be brighter than without binning.
