3.6.2 Changes to the Frame Rate with AOI
In general, the maximum frame rate for the camera increases as the size of the AOI decreases.
However, the maximum frame rate can also be limited by any one of three factors:
• The amount of time it takes to read out a captured image from the image sensor to the frame
buffer.
• The amount of time it takes to transmit an image from the frame buffer to the PC via the IEEE
1394 bus.
• The exposure time setting.
To determine the maximum frame rate for a given AOI, use your AOI and exposure time settings
to calculate a result in each of the three formulas below. These formulas take your AOI size into
account plus the three factors that can limit the frame rate. The formula that returns the lowest
value will determine the maximum frame rate for the given AOI.
Formula 1 calculates the maximum frame rate based on the sensor readout time:
Formula 2 calculates the maximum frame rate based on the frame transmission time:
Formula 3 calculates the maximum frame rate based on the exposure time:
