3.9 Increasing Sensitivity with Binning (DS-21-<br />

0<strong>2M30</strong> Only)<br />

Binning increases the camera’s light sensitivity by decreasing horizontal and vertical<br />

resolution—the charge collected by adjacent pixels is added together.<br />

To set the binning value, use the command:<br />

Syntax:<br />

Syntax Elements:<br />

sbm i i<br />

i<br />

Horizontal binning value. Must be identical to the vertical binning value.<br />

i<br />

Vertical binning value. Must be identical to the horizontal binning value.<br />

Notes: Available values are 1x1 (factory setting), 2x2, or 4x4.<br />

To return to 1x1 mode (binning disabled), use the command sbm 1 1.<br />

<br />

Binning is recommended for the monochrome (DS-21-0<strong>2M30</strong>) <strong>2M30</strong><br />

only. Using binning with the color (DS-22-0<strong>2M30</strong>) <strong>2M30</strong> will cause<br />

invalid pixel summations.<br />

Example: sbm 2 2<br />
