11-2 LIGHTSHEET READOUT MODE

Lightsheet Readout Mode is a unique feature of CMOS image sensor which provides improved control
over the rolling shutter mechanism.
By finely synchronizing the camera readout with the illumination scan, scattered light is rejected allowing
images of higher signal to noise ratios to be acquired.
The detail information of Lightsheet Readout Mode is published on our website.

11-2-1 READOUT DIRECTION
Lightsheet Readout Mode has 4 readout directions of Forward, Backward, Bidirectional and Reverse
bidirectional. Forward mode readouts lines from top to bottom (Figure 10-13). Backward mode readouts
lines from bottom to top (Figure 10-14). Bidirectional mode readouts lines from top to bottom at the first
frame, and switches the readout direction in frame by frame (Figure 10-15). Reverse bidirectional mode
readouts lines from bottom to top at the first frame, and switches the readout direction in frame by frame
(Figure 10-16).
