5.7.2 - Full Vertical Binning
FVB allows you to use the CCD-chip as a Linear Image Sensor (or LIS - a photodiode array). The charge from
each column of pixels (each column being the chip height) is combined, or binned, on the chip to give a single
value per column. To define the binning in FVB mode, click on the FVB tab in the Setup Acquisition dialog
box:
For some spectrographs, it may be necessary to change the direction in which the data is displayed on
screen. click on the FVB tab in the Setup Acquisition dialog box and the following dialog box appears:
Simply click the Horizontally tick box in the Flip section as shown below:
