pixel value will be saturated at 1023 if it exceeds this limit. A shift value of 2 will output 11 to 2
of the binned data. Figure Fig. 5.8 shows the relation between the shift value and the output
data alignment.

5.1.6 Maximal Frame Rate

The maximal frame rate of the camera depends on the camera settings. The following factors
influence the maximal frame rate (see also Table 5.1):
• The length of the exposure time: A shorter exposure time leads to an increase in the
maximal frame rate.
• ROI height: a smaller height ROI leads to an increase in the maximal frame rate.
The maximal frame rate of the camera can be determined by a frame rate calculator in the
support section of the Photonfocus web page www.photonfocus.com. The maximal frame rate
with the current camera settings can be read out by a camera register with pflib and it is also
displayed in the PFRemote tool.
To have a rough idea about the maximal allowed frame rate for a given setting it is important
to know the 2 possible frame timings that are described in the next sections.
