| ADC resolution - 14 bit |
The full well capacity of the CCD is about 100,000 electrons.
To ensure that as much of the dynamic range of the CCD can be sampled a
14 bit ADC will be used. |
| Time resolution - 2us per pixel |
A readout rate of 2us per pixel will be adopted. |
| CCD flush/dump unwanted rows |
. |
| Read out from left/right amplifier or both simultaneously |
. |
| Programmable bias voltages to minimize potential radiation induced
changes |
Vrd, Vod and Vss. |
| . |
. |
| Imaging modes |
. |
| One region of interest can be defined |
Window height and width must be the same on both CCDs. |
| Binning |
Available in both horizontal (spectral) and vertical
(spatial) directions. Maximum binning range no more than 5x5. The slot
facility on EIS minimizes the need for binning. |
| Integration time controlled by ICU |
There is a default mode of operation clocking out every
10 seconds to allow images to be taken even if the command link from the
camera to the ICU is lost. |
| Overclocking |
There are 50 "lead in" pixels before each amplifier which
can be read in a diagnostic mode. |

| Other Features |
. |
| Test ports will be available to test the Read Out Electronics without
the need for ICU control. |
. |
| A Stim pattern will be available for ground testing. |
