Configuration of the camera
The remaining visible Format_7 Mode_1 ... Mode_7 can be mapped to any inter-
nal Format_7 mode.
Example
To map the internal Format_7 Mode_18 to the visible Format_7 Mode_1, write
the decimal number 18 to the above listed F7MODE_1 register.
Low noise binning mode (2 x and 4 x binning)
(only Guppy F-503)
This register enables/disables low noise binning mode.
This means: an average (and not a sum) of the luminance values is calculated
within the FPGA.
The image is therefore darker than with the usual binning mode, but the signal
to noise ratio is better (approximately a factor of ).
Note
For available Format_7 modes see Figure 82: Mapping of possi-
ble Format_7 modes to F7M1...F7M7 on page 127.
Setting the F7MODE_x register to:
• -1 (hex. FFFFFFFF) forces the camera to use the factory
defined mode (Default)
• -2 (hex. FFFFFFFE) disables the respective Format_7 mode
(no mapping is applied this mode is no more available
and is not shown in the viewer e.g. SmartView)
After setup of personal Format_7 mode mappings you have to
reset the camera. The mapping is performed during the camera
startup only.
