CV-A1
Binning mode BI is a function where the signal charge from 2 or more adjacent pixels are added
together and read out as one pixel. A resulting full frame with lower resolution can be read out
with a higher rate. By adding 2 pixels together, the sensitivity is doubled. The CV-A1 has both
vertical and horizontal binning. With V binning the pixel charge from 2 adjacent lines are added
together in the horizontal ccd register. It is done by double pulses to the vertical ccd register.
With H binning the pixel charge from 2 horizontal adjacent pixels are added together in the
sample/hold circuit after the horizontal ccd register. It is done by shifting the charge from 2
horizontal ccd cells into the sample/hold capacitor for each reset pulse.
Both vertical and horizontal binning can work together. The sensitivity is then 4 times normal.
The aspect ratio will be correct, if the sampling frequency is divided with 2. See fig. 10.

The accumulation mode HC can be set to asynchronous accumulation (HC=1). The exposure in
PWC mode (TR =2) and Frame Delay readout (TR=3) will start immediately at the leading edge of
the trigger pulse without waiting for the HD. Fig. 11 and fig. 12 shows the details.

In normal trigger mode (TR=0) shutter speed up to 1/200,000 sec. can be used. In all triggered
shutter modes, the shortest shutter time is limited to ≥1,3 H. (1/12,000). In triggered shutter
modes with partial scan or binning, the longest shutter speed is not limited by the frame read
out time. It can be longer.
