- Page 17 Saturn Camera Manual Readout Noise Regarding readout noise, we solemnly promise that all values are obtained from actual tests. And for users, you could use Sharpcap 4 for testing. SC4 has a function called Sensor Analysis, provide a very simple way to test readout noise. We wrote a tutorial on our website: https://player-one-astronomy.com/service/manuals/ If you are interested in readout noise testing, you may try it yourself, which is very simple.
