11.1.15 ReadoutMode
Specifies the operation mode of the readout for the acquisition.
Image acquisition consists of two separate procedures carried out in succession.
Exposing the pixels on the photosensitive surface of the sensor is only the first part of the image
acquisition process. Once this first step is completed, the pixels are read out.
The exposure time (texposure) can be adjusted by the user, however, the time needed for the
readout (treadout) is determined by the particular sensor and image format in use.
Depending on mode and the combination of exposure and reading times, the cameras can op-
erate in Sequential or Overlapped:
Overlapped Sequential
In this operation mode, an image is being ex-
posed whilst Frame (n) is being read.
Here, the time intervals are long enough for the
exposure and readout to be processed succes-
sively.
