Format_7 mode mapping (only Guppy F-503)
With Format_7 mode mapping it is possible to map special binning and sub-sam-
pling modes to F7M1..F7M7 (see Figure 82: Mapping of possible Format_7 modes
to F7M1...F7M7 on page 127).
Additional Format_7 modes
Guppy F-503 has additional Format_7 modes. There are some special Format_7
modes which aren’t covered by the IIDC standard. These special modes imple-
ment binning and sub-sampling.
To stay as close as possible to the IIDC standard the Format_7 modes can be
mapped into the register space of the standard Format_7 modes.
There are visible Format_7 modes and internal Format_7 modes:
• At any time only 8 Format_7 modes can be accessed by a host computer.
• Visible Format_7 modes are numbered from 0 to 2 and 4 to 6.
• Internal Format_7 modes are numbered from 0 to 2, 4 to 6, 8 to 10, 17 to
18, 20 to 22, 24 to 26.
Format_7 Mode_0 represents the mode with the maximum resolution of the
camera: this visible mode cannot be mapped to any other internal mode.
