6 Camera Control for the pco.edge

pco.edge User Manual V1.03 © PCO AG, Germany

[FPS based] The camera will optimize the image recording to achieve the

selected frame rate with chosen exposure time as close as possible.

Note: • Only for [Auto Sequence] trigger mode

• “FPS based” mode only available with Camera Link Interface

First the frame rate is set. If the time required for readout of the image is

longer than 1 / frame rate, then the frame rate will be reduced to 1 / treadout.

The frame rate can be adjusted in steps of 100 mHz (rolling shutter).

If the selected exposure time would require a lower frame rate, the

exposure time is cut to the maximum possible time at that frame rate.
