Claim 10:
11. A method of acquiring in-pixel histograms, the method comprising:
converting, with a signal converter located in a pixel integrated circuit of an array of pixel integrated circuits, an analog signal received from a detector to an output signal; and
directing the output signal to different counters included in the pixel integrated circuit in a sequence of different times during an exposure period for the detector, wherein the directing is performed, at least in part, with a multiplexer, wherein the directing further comprises providing a sequence of commands, with a sequencer, to the multiplexer that connects an output from the signal converter to a first counter of the different counters for a first period of time and connects an output from the signal converter to a second counter of the different counters for a second period of time.
