Appendix B: Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the dual (multiple) slope extended dynamic range mode work?
A: The green lines in
determined by the amount of light at each pixel (the more light the steeper the slope). When the pixels reach the saturation level, the
analog signal does not change despite further exposure. Without any double slope, pulse pixels p3 and p4 reaches saturation before
the sample moment of the analog values, no signal is acquired without double slope. When double slope is enabled a second reset
pulse is given (blue line) at a certain time before the end of the integration time. This double slope reset pulse resets the analog signal
of the pixels below this level to the reset level. After the reset the analog signal starts to decrease with the same slope as before the
double slope reset pulse. If the double slope reset pulse is placed at the end of the integration time (90% for instance) the analog
signal that reaches the saturation levels are not saturated anymore (this increases the optical dynamic range) at read out. Note that
pixel signals above the double slope reset level are not influenced by this double slope reset pulse (p1 and p2).
