Subtelescopes/units that can be commanded independently
SoloHI consists of 1 white-light telescope with wide FOV. However, data can be read out either from the whole detector or from well-defined subfields:
| detector size (radial x transverse) | FOV (radial x transverse) | TM/raw image | compression rates | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SoloHI Full frame image | 3968 px * 3968 px | 5º-45º x 5º-45º (40ºx40º) | ||
| SoloHI inner FOV subframe image | 192 px * 512 px | 5.8º-7.68º x 5º (1.88ºx5º) 13.5º-15.38º x 5º 18.5º-20.38º x 5º | ||
| Radial Swath subframe image | 3968 px * 512 px | 5º-45º x 5º (40ºx5º) |
