Long Exposures
When the required exposure time is greater than the time it takes to read out a frame (Long Exposures), the cycle
timeisdenedbytheexposuretime.
Initially, the entire sensor is held in a global clear state to ensure that there is no charge build-up on the sensor.

has completed, a signal frame read out phase begins. As each row is read out, the new exposure for that row
begins.
