Bias stability 
A measurement of the camera stability when no light hits the sensor.≤ 0.001 ADU / Frmae
A stop of zero would be ideal.  
Gain stability≤ 0.3 ADU / Frame ( @ 10MHz, 350x, Gain State 2, 20k ADU )
A mesurement of the stability of the electron multiplecation applied to images.
ideal value would be 0. The stability of the EM gain applied can be quantified by
measuring the stope of a sequence of image with known amount of light and EM
Gain applied. 
Field uniformity10MHz EM                                             1.07
The image quality of the EMCCD is assessed for gradients. A complete lack of any 
gradient would provide a numerical value of 1.00 
Baseline bias value500ADU but can be varied
Cooling tempuretureAir cooled ( @ ambient air 20°C )                 -85°C
Dark current0.0069e- / pixel / sec
Background event0.01 events / pixel
( 10 MHz, 1000x EM gain ) Standard operation 
Relative charge transfer efficiendyOptimized on each camera 
Photometrics is able to measure this on each camera and optimize this parameter.
Charge transfer efficiencyAs specified by CCD manufacturer's data sheet
Dark signal non - unifomity ( DSNU )As specified by CCD manufacturer's data sheet
Photoresponse non - uniformity ( PRNU )As specified by CCD manufacturer's data sheet
Parallel shift rate100 rts. This is optimized with Charge. Transfer Efficiency ( CTE ) and CLC.
Test results demonstrate that increasing parellel shift rate further can decrese CTE,
adversely affecting image quality and sensitivity.
