pixelSNRluxsec

PURPOSE ^

Graph or calculate sensor SNR (dB) as a function of illuminance (lux-sec)

SYNOPSIS ^

function [snr,luxsec,SNRshot, SNRread] = pixelSNRluxsec(ISA)

DESCRIPTION ^

Graph or calculate sensor SNR (dB) as a function of  illuminance (lux-sec)

     [snr,luxsec,SNRshot, SNRread]  = pixelSNRluxsec(ISA)

 If there are no output arguments, this routine produces a graph of pixel
 SNR as a function of lux-sec incident at the pixel.  It also adds curves
 indicating the SNR limits imposed by shot noise and by read noise. 

 If there are output arguments, no graph is returned.

 This routine uses the same calculation as described in pixelSNR,
 differing only by calculating the illuminance level (lux-sec) required to
 produce the specific voltage.  The key routine for calculating that
 relationship is pixelVperLuxSec (see below).

 Example:
    pixelSNRluxsec(vcGetObject('sensor'));
    [snr,luxsec] = pixelSNRluxsec(vcGetObject('sensor'));
