Auto Mode (Auto)
In this mode the line rate from the camera will automatically cause a switch between the gate dark
current clear mode and non gate dark current clear mode.
The frequency of when this mode switchover occurs depends on the camera model.
In cases where the line rate is rapidly increased from below the Dark Current Clear to Immediate
Readout Transition Frequency to above the Immediate Readout to Dark Current Clear Transition
Frequency, the first line following this transition will likely be corrupted.
The table below outlines the artifacts that may be seen during this transition period. All subsequent lines
after this occurrence will be as expected.
In the case of a slow transition (that is, when the EXSYNC line rate increases by less than 10% of the
previous line rate) a line readout will not become corrupt.
There are also limitations on the exposure time when operating in auto mode: If the line rate exceeds half
the maximum line rate, then the exposure time cannot exceed the time stated in Table 14.
Note: Teledyne DALSA recommends Auto mode for most users.
For information on artifacts that may be experienced while using this mode, see the Artifacts section
below.
