These are preliminary values based on the measurements done with engineering samples - thus they still can change.
Please inquire about possible adjustments.

Mode

STD: standard
HDR: high dynamic range
CMS: correlated multiple sampling
In CMS mode, the reset and pixel output are sampled multiple times and summed up for pixel-related noise suppression.

Table legend

Dark noise is a parameter defined in the EMVA1288 standard which is calculated by fitting the variance versus mean plot.
It can be understood as mean dark noise at minimum exposure time => Mean read noise.

Noise is not a standardized parameter, but usually is calculated as the median value of the dark temporal noise histogram that is acquired at minimum exposure time => Median read noise.
The lower you go with the noise the larger the influence of the outlier pixels is on the mean, therefore low noise sensors usually specify the median noise.

None of these parameters are influenced by the Dark current shot noise.
They only characterize the readout circuit.

The specification of each model is based on operational Modes.
The Noise values are Median not RMS - Root mean square.
The Dark current is measured at 0 Celsius.
HG and LG are High and Low conversion gain - HCG, LCG.
