Description of the data path
• 4 x full binning (a combination of 4 x H-binning and 4 x V-binning)
2 x vertical binning and 4 x vertical binning
Binning mode Guppy F-036B Guppy F-503B/C
2 x vertical 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
averaged.
4 x vertical 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
averaged.
Averaged? or Additive? Only averaged Only averaged
Because the signals are averaged, the image will not be brighter than without binning.
