Setting Horizontal Analog Binning

Purpose:

Increases the horizontal pixel pitch and light sensitivity by decreasing horizontal

resolution. The amount of data being sent from the camera is reduced by the horizontal

binning factor. Different frame grabber files are needed for different horizontal binning

factors.

Syntax:

sbh m

Syntax Elements:

Horizontal analog binning value. Available values are 1 (factory setting, no binning)

2, or 4.

Notes:

 If you are using horizontal binning, the min, max, and mean statistics generated by

the gl or gla command are for every second pixel (or valid data) only (e.g., if sbh

2, every second pixel).

 For optimal flat field correction, you should rerun the ccf and cpa commands after

changing binning values.

 Changing binning values does not automatically alter gain, external frame rate

generation, or other functions of the camera.

 Pixel numbering remains unchanged for the roi, gl, gla, gfc, sfc, gpc, and spc

commands. Refer to Figure 19 for an explanation of pixel numbering and pixel start

and stop values when using a region of interest.

 Command sdh set to default (1).

Example:

sbh 2
