Footnotes
1. Figures are typical unless otherwise stated.
2. Readout noise is for the entire system and is taken as a median over the sensor area excluding any regions of blemishes. It is a combination of sensor
readout noise and A/D noise.
3. Quantumeciencyofthesensorat20°Cassuppliedbythemanufacturer.
4. Dark current measurement is taken as a median over the sensor area excluding any regions of blemishes.
5. Linearity is measured from a plot of Signal vs. Exposure Time, in accord with EMVA 1288 standard.
6. SoftwareExposureEventsproviderapidsoftwarenotication(SDKonly)ofthestartandendofacquisition,usefulfortightsynchronizationtomoving
peripheral devices e.g. Z-stage.
7. ‘Global Clear’ is an optional keep clean mechanism that can be implemented in rolling shutter mode, which purges charge from all rows of the sensor
simultaneously, at the exposure start. The exposure end is still rolling shutter. It can be used alongside the Fire All output of the camera and a pulsed
lightsourcetosimulateGlobalExposuremechanism,albeitlessecientlythanthetrueGlobalShutterexposuremodeofZyla5.5.FurthermoreGlobal
CleardiersfromtrueGlobalShutterinthatitcanonlybeusedin‘non-overlap’readoutmode,i.e.sequentialexposureandreadoutphasesratherthan
simultaneous.
8. ZylaUSB3.0modelsshouldworkwithanymodernUSB3.0enabledPC/laptop(providedharddrivesorRAMissucienttosupportdatarates)asevery
USB 3.0 port should have its own host controller. Zyla USB 3.0 models also ship with a USB 3.0 PCI card as a means to add a USB 3.0 port to an older PC,
or as a diagnostic aid to interoperability issues or to ensure maximum speed.
