Read-out noise

Noise measured in bias frames with 1*1 binning, mpp+ mode:

The Low gain mode was modified shortly after commissioning. Consult NOT staff for the new RON values. Measurements of RON in amplifier B using 2 by 2 binning gave values identical to the 1 by 1 binning RON. Reading out using higher binning may induce a pattern of a few ADU in amplitude, effectively increasing read out noise.
