Page 6: Qe Graph & Read Noise
ASI2400 Manual 4. QE Graph & Read Noise QE and Read noise are the most important parts to measure the performance of a camera. Higher QE and Lower read noise are needed to improve the SNR of an image. For the 2400 Sensor, the peak value for QE is above 80%. Read noise includes pixel diode noise, circuit noise and ADC quantization error noise. - Page 7 ASI2400 Manual...
