1.3 Camera Performance Specifications
The following two tables list the camera’s performance specifications. The first table lists
the operating ranges of the camera, and the second table lists the performance
specifications at minimum, nominal and maximum gain levels at 1 kHz data rate. Note
that as gain levels increase, performance decreases, because your signal to noise
decreases.
Also note that most of the camera’s performance specifications were obtained using a line
rate of only 1 kHz. At low line rates, dark current can become a significant source of noise
and appears in specifications such as FPN and PRNU. If you operate the camera at faster
line rates, such as 9 kHz, the amount of dark current will be reduced by 9x or greater.
