Operation and Features3-26 BASLER L100k SeriesDRAFT3.7.2 Digital Shift in 8 bit Output ModesNo ShiftAs mentioned in Section 3.1, the L100k uses 10 bitADCs to digitize the output from the CCD sensor. Whenthe camera is operating in 8 bit output mode, by default,it drops the least two significant bits from each ADC andtransmits the 8 most significant bits (bit 9 through bit 2).Shift OnceWhen the camera is set to shift once, the output fromthe camera will include bit 8 through bit 1 from eachADC.The result of shifting once is that the output of thecamera is effectively doubled. For example, assumethat the camera is set for no shift, that it is viewing auniform white target and that under these conditionsthe reading for the brightest pixel is 20. If you changedthe digital shift setting to shift once, the reading wouldincrease to 40.* Note that if bit 9 is set to 1, all of the other bits will automatically be set to 1. Thismeans that you should only use the shift once setting when your pixel readings in8 bit mode with no digital shift are all below 128.bit9bit8bit7bit6bit5bit4bit3bit2bit1bit0MSBLSBADCNot Shiftedbit9bit8bit7bit6bit5bit4bit3bit2bit1bit0MSBLSBADCShifted Once
