21.1.3.1 Free running mode
To calculate the maximum frames per second (FPS
max
) in free running mode you will need following
formula:
(ImageHeight * ( 1650 )) + ((VerticalBlank+2) * 1650 )
FrameTime = ------------ ------------
PixelClock PixelClock
If exposure time is lower than frame time:
1000000
FPS_max = ----------------
FrameTime
If exposure time is greater than frame time:
1000000
FPS_max = ----------------
ExposureTime
21.1.3.2 Snapshot mode
To calculate the maximum frames per second (FPS
max
) in snapshot mode you will need following
formula:
(ImageHeight * ( 1650 )) + ((VerticalBlank+2) * 1650 )
FrameTime = ------------ ------------
PixelClock PixelClock
FPS_max = 1
-----------------------------------
FrameTime + ExposureTime
21.1.3.3 Frame rate calculator
Frame rate calculator
Mode:
Overlapping exposure and readout (default)
Exposure and readout without overlapping
Pixel clock:
66 MHz
40 MHz
Image width: pixels
Image height: pixels
Exposure time: us
Frame rate (max): 1/s
ExposureTime > FrameTime
Note:
The exposure time step width is limited to the sensor's row time of 41.3 us and therefore
- auto exposure with very low exposure times will perform with relatively large increments
and
- exposure mode = TriggerWidth (if available) will perform with a jitter corresponding to the
row time
