Guidelines for Overlapped Exposure
If you will be operating the camera with overlapped exposure, there are two important guidelines to
keep in mind:
You must not begin the exposure time for a new image acquisition while the exposure time of
the previous acquisition is in progress.
You must not end the exposure time of the current image acquisition until readout of the
previously acquired image is complete.
When you are operating a camera with overlapped exposure and using a hardware trigger signal
to trigger image acquisition, you could use the camera’s exposure time parameter settings and
timing formulas to calculate when it is safe to begin each new acquisition. However, there is a much
more convenient way to know when it safe to begin each acquisition. The camera supplies “trigger
wait” signals that are specifically designed to let you trigger overlapped exposure safely and
efficiently.
For more information about the trigger wait signals, see Section 7.7.3 on page 92.
