Exposure Modes in Detail
Mode 2: Internally Programmable Line Rate and Exposure Time
(Factory Setting)
Mode 2 operates at a maximum line rate and exposure time.
When setting the line rate (using the ssf command), exposure time will be reduced, if necessary, to
accommodate the new line rate. The exposure time will always be set to the maximum time (line
period – line transfer time – pixel reset time) for that line rate when a new line rate requiring reduced
exposure time is entered.
When setting the exposure time (using the set command), line time will be increased, if necessary,
to accommodate the exposure time. Under this condition, the line time will equal the exposure time
+ line transfer time.
Example 1: Exposure Time less than Line Period
Mode 3: External Trigger with Maximum Exposure
Line rate is set by the period of the external trigger pulses. The falling edge of the external trigger marks
the beginning of the exposure.
Example 2: Line Rate is set by External Trigger Pulses.
