ATR2600M has built in 16bit ADC. It also has 12bit output mode for hardware binning and smaller resolution. The camera also supports hardware ROI, and the smaller the ROI size is, the higher the frame rate is. Table 2 shows the frame rate of ATR2600M in 16/8 bit mode, USB3.0 / USB2.0 data transfer interface at different resolutions: Table 2 ATR2600M Frame Rate at Different Resolution/Data Bit/Data Transfer (USB3.0/ USB2.0) -

2.8 Zero Amp-Glow ATR2600M has been carefully designed and is able to achieve zero amp-glow photo shooting. Figure 3 and Figure 4 show the different cameras at 20C and 5-minute exposure time with and without amp-glow. By comparison, the image captured by ATR2600M shows zero amp-glow. - Page 7 Read Noise is the most important reference to measure the performance of a camera. Lower read noise usually means better SNR and better quality of image. Low Noise Mode It is impressive that ATR2600M comes with , which means users could get even lower readout noise Low Noise Mode by selecting while the frame rate is reduced as sacrifice.
