Transferring raw (14 bit) Lepton data

The Y16 UVC data type will contain raw 14-bit lepton data. Firmware versions 1.0.0 and greater support Y16 and RGB imaging without code changes.

You will also need to explicitly set the frame format for capture on the host. Many programs default to using a YUV format (or Y8/GRAY), and those will be auto-scaled. Only the Y16 format will contain raw lepton data.

An example for capturing raw 14-bit data is available in the UVC capture examples repository: https://github.com/groupgets/purethermal1-uvc-capture/blob/master/python/uvc-radiometry.py

The GetThermal program will also acquire raw 14-bit data from Radiometric Leptons by default.
