12-bit data. With a lesser quality signal, the ADC produces data with a lower effective bit depth. The SenSys camera produces an analog signal that uses the full range of the 12-bit ADC (up to 4096 gray levels). Through software, the camera can be set to High Sensitivity (Gain 3), High Dynamic Range (Gain 2), or High Signal to Noise Ratio (Gain 1) detection modes. -
