Use Format_7 Mode_2 to activate 2 x vertical binning.
Use Format_7 Mode_5 to activate 4 x vertical binning. (Guppy F-036B)
Figure 75: 2 x vertical binning (Guppy F-503)
Note

Vertical resolution is reduced, but signal-to noise ratio
(SNR) is increased by about 3 to 6 dB (2 x or 4 x binning).
Note

The image appears vertically compressed in this mode and
no longer exhibits a true aspect ratio.
Note

The frame rates in the vertical binning modes are lower than
the frame rates in the corresponding AOI resolution.
Example: In the 2 x vertical binning mode, the camera out-
puts images with 240 lines, but the frame rates are lower
than the AOI frame rates with an AOI height of 240.
