Dectris EIGER 2 - Interdependency of Timing Parameters

7.4.2. Interdependency of Timing Parameters
The following parameters are essential for exposure timing. Changing either values might inuence other val-
ues in the list.
• detector | cong | frame_time
If frame_time conicts with the current
count_time
, then
count_time
is set to the dierence of
frame_time
and
detector_readout_time.
• detector | cong | count_time
If count_time conicts with frame_time, then frame_time is set to the sum of count_time and detector_readout_time.
To acquire images with a certain frame rate and best possible duty cycle, a simple procedure is to rst set
count_time to the inverse of the frame rate and subsequently frame_time to the inverse of the frame rate.
