Basler A202k High Gain 11
DRAFT
5 Pixel Clock, Timing Chart, and Frame
Rate Formula Changes
A202k High Gain cameras use a 36 MHz pixel clock rather than the 40 MHz clock used on
standard cameras. This means that the pixel timings and the formulas for calculating the
maximum allowed frame rate are different on high gain cameras.
Figure 2 shows the pixel timing chart when a high gain camera is operating with level controlled
exposure. Figure 3 shows the pixel timing chart when a high gain camera is operating with
programmable exposure.
Section 5.1 describes how to calculate the maximum allowed frame rate on high gain cameras
based on the size of the area of interest.
Section 5.2 describes how to calculate the maximum allowed frame rate on high gain cameras
based on the use of the binning feature.
Note that when a high gain camera is used with binning enabled, the pixel clock will operate at 18
MHz rather than at 20 MHz as it does on standard cameras.
