Binning Modes
Binning is an advanced feature provided by most UVP cameras. "Binning" literally means to "bin" or
"combine" pixel values. A camera set to the binning of 4 x 4 (read 4 by 4) means, that it "combines" the
values from 4 pixels across and 4 pixels down (16 pixels in all) into one single pixel on the image. Binning
is also referred to as creating a "Super Pixel".
Higher binning, hence, increases the sensitivity of the images, at the cost of resolution and image-size
(due to combining of pixels). A good strategy is to Focus at higher binning (say 2 X 2) so that the refresh
rate is higher and then to snap at a lower binning, to capture full resolution in the resultant image.
To access the Binning feature go to the Acquisition Action Tab and click onto the Camera Menu button
and find the Binning feature.
