10.6 Binning
Binning increases the camera’s response to light by summing the charges from adjacent pixels into
one pixel.
With horizontal binning, the charges of 2, 3, or a maximum of 4 adjacent pixels are summed and
are reported out of the camera as a single pixel. Fig. 55 illustrates horizontal binning.
Setting Binning
You can enable horizontal binning by setting the Binning Horizontal parameter. Setting the param-
eter’s value to 2, 3, or 4 enables horizontal binning by 2, horizontal binning by 3, or horizontal bin-
ning by 4 respectively. Setting the parameter’s value to 1 disables horizontal binning.
You can set the Binning Vertical or the Binning Horizontal parameter value from within your
application software by using the Basler pylon API. The following code snippet illustrates using the
API to set the parameter values:
// Enable horizontal binning by 4
Camera.BinningHorizontal.SetValue( 4 );
// Disable horizontal binning
Camera.BinningHorizontal.SetValue( 1 );
You can also use the Basler pylon Viewer application to easily set the parameters.
For more information about the pylon API and the pylon Viewer, see Section 3 on page 23.
