| Description: On-chip image binning option for MDIS. Images may be taken either without on-chip binning or with 2x2 binning, which decreases the size of a full image from 1024x1024 pixels to 512x512 pixels. On-chip binning can be used to manage the size of raw images being stored on the spacecraft solid-state recorder, or to increase CCD sensitivity. If this option is used, sensitivity increases by about a factor of four but read noise is similar. |
