Guideline for Overlapped Acquisition
If you are operating the camera in such a way that frame acquisitions will be overlapped, there is
an important guideline you must keep in mind:
You must wait a minimum of 400 µs after the end of exposure for line one in frame N before you
can trigger acquisition of frame N+1. This requirement is illustrated in Figure 59
If this guideline is violated, the camera will ignore the frame start trigger signal and will declare a
Frame Start Overtrigger event.
You can avoid violating this guideline by using the camera’s Frame Trigger Wait signal to determine
when exposure can safely begin.
