The Read Mode Control dialog box can be used to change the way in which the information from the CCD in the
camera is read. The mode is selected by clicking one of the buttons in the dialog box. Moving the cursor over each
button displays a pop-up, indicating the mode selected by clicking on the button. Once a button has been clicked the
selected mode is displayed beneath the buttons.
Note: Switching the readout mode automatically changes the way in which the acquired data is displayed. The
display mode can also be changed at any time using the quick access buttons on the toolbar.
There are four modes available (please refer to the camera manual for more details).
1. Full Vertical Binning (FVB): this allows you to use the CCD as a Linear Image Sensor with the charge from each
column of pixels (each column being chip height) being binned (combined), to give a single value per column.
2. Image Readout: this is associated with image data display.
3. Single Track: this differs from FVB in that you can specify the height (in pixels) and vertical position on the CCD
of a track from which to bin charge. The aim is to dene a horizontal track which corresponds to the position of
a spectrum under analysis.
4. Multi-track: Multi track modes are associated with 2-D data display and allow you to dene multiple tracks on
the CCD with two options available, i.e. Standard and Custom. When one option is selected, the parameters
for the other option are disabled.
Setup: adjust conguration options for the selected mode.
