Configuration of the camera
Example
To map the internal Format_7 Mode_19 to the visible Format_7 Mode_1, write
the decimal number 19 to the above listed F7MODE_1 register.
Low-noise binning mode (2 x and 4 x binning)
(only Guppy PRO 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 ).
Software feature control (disable LED)
The software feature control register allows to enable/disable some features of
the camera (e.g. disable LED). The settings are stored permanently within the
camera and do not depend on any user set.
Disable LEDs
• To disable LEDs set bit [17] to 1.
• To disable LEDs in SmartView:
Adv3 tab, activate Disable LED functionality check box.
The camera does not show the status indicators during normal operation:
Note

For available Format_7 modes see figure 60.
Setting the F7MODE_x register to:
• -1 forces the camera to use the factory defined mode
• -2 disables the respective Format_7 mode (no mapping is
applied)
After setup of personal Format_7 mode mappings you have to
reset the camera. The mapping is performed during the camera
startup only.
