In order to avoid trade-offs at maximum frame rate use either the
Busy Status signal or make sure that the external trigger rate follows
this condition: 0.999 x External Trigger Rate ≤ f
max
.
External Exposure Control An external signal applied at SMA #1
(see 6.3.9), controls the start and the duration of the exposure.
A new exposure is started by the falling or rising edge of the voltage
signal at the SMA input. The exposure is finished when the opposite
edge is detected. Thus in this mode, the start as well as the length of
the exposure time can be controlled.
No further settings can be made, as the image timing is completely
controlled by the external trigger signal.
Be aware, that the externally controlled exposure time is limited. The
integration will be stopped automatically if the maximum exposure
time is achieved.
The Busy Status signal at SMA #3 (see 6.3.9) indicates if a new
trigger is accepted.
