Ranger E Parameters
7.5.7 HiRes Gray
The HiRes Gray component can be used on the Ranger E55 and ColorRanger E55 models
for measuring the intensity along one high-resolution row across the sensor, using it as a
line scan sensor.
The high-resolution sensor row contains twice as many columns as the rest of the sensor
on the same width, resulting in measurements with twice the resolution along the x-axis.
The high-resolution row is located above row 0 on the sensor.

512
Figure 7.4 – The high-resolution row is located approximately 50 rows above row 0.
For the Ranger E55, the component is similar to the Gray component, but since the sensor
has one high-resolution row at a fixed location, the Start row parameter is always 512,
and the Number of rows parameter is always 1.
On the ColorRanger E55, the sensor has several high-resolution rows that have different
filters applied:
512 No filter. Identical to the high-resolution row on the Ranger E55
514, 516, 518 Blue, green and red color filtered rows. These are also used by the
HiRes Color component.
520 IR block.
522 IR pass (only on ColorRanger E55 with IR option)
526 No filter
