Sensitivity Control
• CCD substrate bias voltage adjustment By adjusting the substrate bias, the saturation signal
charge can be increased or decreased Increasing the saturation signal charge improves the
sensitivity Decreasing the saturation signal charge reduced the

Partial Scanning
• High speed acquisition (Partial Scan) By reducing the size of the acquisition region (ROI) the
amount of data can be reduced and the acquisition speed increased
Can be used in combination with H/V binning function Vertical: 2[pix] step / Horizontal: 2[pix] step
• Four parametersParameter:
“Width”
Parameter: “Height”
Parameter: “Offset X”
Parameter: “Offset Y”
Pixel Binning
• Combines 2 pixels together with the following benefits
Sensitivity increase Readout noise reduction Data reduction with same field of view Frame rate increase with vertical binning Available for B&W models only
• Example: XCL-C280 2.8MP @ 26 fps (max)

Auto Exposure
• Combines Auto Gain and Auto Shutter control Auto Gain only / Auto Shutter only / Auto Exposure (Gain +
Shutter)
• Operations Dark: increase shutter time until Max Shutter then increase
Gain Bright: decrease Gain until Min Gain then decrease shutter
time
