Note: *Selection of one of the 4 Bayer phases is arbitrary. The pixel format code in the CXP stream image header however will report the code for correct phase to be used by the Host for color decoding. Associated Bayer phase registers are: PixelFormat, ReverseX and ReverseY. Acquisition must be stopped when changing the pixel format. _________________________________________________________________________________________ Adimec... - Page 22 If the ReverseX and ReverseY functions are activated, the Bayer phase changes (PixelFormat) according to the table below.

The frame period equals the integration time. TimedTriggerControl Camera is slave: Start of integration time is determined by the start of the trigger, the integration time is fixed and can be controlled via the ExposureTime register.

- Page 28 The intermediate 2 multi slope levels and 2 multi slope times are expressed as a percentage from the normal saturation level and integration time. The node points are configurable by sequentially selecting them with the MultiSlopeNodeSelector.

A defect pixel correction is available that replaces a defect pixel by a horizontally interpolated value or a vertically interpolated value or a horizontal nearest neighbor value depending on the local defect distribution. Adimec does not release cameras with more than 1 adjacent defect pixel upon delivery. However, additional defect pixels can be user-programmed. - Page 33 Defects that were added by the user and have not been saved are lost.
