Kinetics mode allows you to record the temporal evolution of an event, by capturing a series of scans or
accumulations at a specified rate or time interval. In the Setup Acquisition dialog box you can key in the
following parameters:
• Exposure Time (secs): the time during which charge is to be collected on the CCD. NOTE: Should
you attempt to enter too low a value, the system will default to a minimum Exposure Time.
• No. of Accumulations: the number of scans/images to be added together at each point in the kinetic
series
• Kinetic Series Length: the number of scans/images to be taken during the kinetic series
• Kinetic Cycle Time (secs): the period of the scans/images that comprise the kinetic series
NOTE: This mode is particularly well suited to recording the temporal evolution of a process.
5.4.3.1 - Frame Rates
The Kinetic Cycle Time can also be act as a useful guide to the Frame Rate your camera is operating at.
Depending on the Acquisition parameters you set, i.e. Vertical Shift Speed, Binning or Sub Image
Patterns, Cycle Time and whether External Trigger is being used, the Kinetic Cycle Dialog box will display
a Hz figure. As a guide 1 Hz equals 1 frame per second.
If External trigger is selected the Kinetic Cycle dialog box will indicate the maximum achievable frame rate.
