The Resolution/Sensitivity selection allows for choosing among five different
sensitivities: 1×1 (far left setting), 2×2, 3×3 (middle, default setting), 4×4 and 8×8
(far right setting) binning. Selection of 1×1 binning provides minimum
sensitivity/maximum resolution, while selection of 8×8 binning provides maximum
sensitivity/minimum resolution. Table 3-1 provides multiple specifications related to
the varied binning sizes.
