Tutorial:
Camera time efficiency simulation

Content:

1. Introduction
2. Why I like these cameras
3. The Excel sheet with camera simulations: Low Dynamic, example 1
4. High Dynamic, example 2
5. Thermal Noise, example 3
6. High Dynamic and very weak signal, example 4
7. Readout Noise from calibration, example 5
8. Download of Excel sheet

8: Download of Excel sheet

Here you can download my Excel sheet. But remember this is very simple made, don't trust it and use it for decision to which camera to buy.

• You download this and use it on your own risk! I don't take any responsible for it:

Note:
It could of course be some mistake in my calculation, I correct it when I found something.
