5.4 Video Format, Mode, and Frame Rate Settings
The following settings control the video format and mode of the camera.
Frame Rate —This provides control over the frame rate of the camera. When this feature is in auto mode, exposure
time is limited by the frame rate value dynamically, which is determined by the Current Frame Rate. When this
feature is in manual mode, the actual frame interval (time between individual image acquisitions) is fixed by the frame
rate value. The available frame rate range depends on the current video format and/or video mode.
This is set to OFF when the camera is operating in asynchronous trigger mode . For more information, see
Asynchronous Triggering on page 81.
Current Frame Rate—Allows the user to query and modify the current frame rate of the camera.
Current Video Mode—Allows the user to query and modify the current video mode of the camera.
Current Video Format—Allows the user to query and modify the current video format of the camera.
5.4.1 FRAME_RATE: 83Ch
Formulas for converting the fixed point (relative) values to floating point (absolute) values are not
provided. Users wishing to work with real-world values should refer to Absolute Value CSRs (page
148).
