9.4 Region of Interest (ROI) and Binning 

The ROI and binning controls are found in the 

“AOI”

 tab (Area of Interest) on the XCAP GUI.  

ROI:

 A region of interest within the main active region of 2048 × 2048 may be defined (or 

1024 x 1024 if using the 47-10 model). The ROI is setup using a bank of registers to control 
the X offset, the ROI width, the Y offset and the ROI height. These parameters are shown 
pictorially in Figure 9. 

The user must ensure that X  ROI width is ≤ 2048 and similarly 

the Y  ROI height is ≤ 2048 (or 1024 if using the Eagle XV 47-10 model). Also, ROI 
width and ROI height must be > 0. 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
Binning: 

In  addition  to  standard  1×1  output,  various  levels  of  pixel  binning  may  be 

programmed  up  to  64*64.  Pixel  binning  is  performed  on  the  CCD  and  asymmetric  binning 
combinations may be used e.g. (1 × 2); (2 × 1); (1 × 3); (3 × 1); (4 × 7) etc. XCAP gives the 
user a lot of different binning options to choose from. If there are binning formats that the user 
wishes to use that are not an option in XCAP, please contact Raptor for support.

 

 
The ROI and Binning may be active simultaneously. The ROI is determined on a single pixel 
basis after which binning may be applied. The ROI and binning controls in XCAP are shown 
in Figure 19.
