11. OPERATION
By default, the camera operates in CDS mode.
The camera can operate in full frame or in cropping mode.
Integration/readout function
The acquisition speed can be set to any value from 0.0001 to 600 fps.
The integration time can also be set. The integration time range is [50µs - ~1/fps] *
*For integration time below 50µs, please contact First Light Imaging at

Conversion gain
Signal can be integrated in low, medium or high gain corresponding to high, medium
and small integration capacity, respectively. The modification of the integration
capacity impacts the dynamic of the signal and thus implies a change of the noise
level.
Bias/Flat Correction
Bias/Flat correction can be done on the fly by the camera.
Flat and Bias correction files can be computed automatically by the camera
Alternatively, custom correction files can be uploaded to the camera using serial
connection (either USB or CL).
To apply the image corrections: First, build the bias file and apply it, then, build the flat
file and apply it.
Please refer to the software demo user manual for further details.
Bad pixel Correction
Bad pixel correction can be done on the fly by the camera.
When enabled, bad pixel correction is the first correction applied on pixel values
received from the sensor.
The bad pixel is replaced by one of the adjacent pixels.
