*2 The timeout is calculated from the exposure time setting, the image transfer time (depending on
the pixel clock) and the optional trigger delay (see is_SetTriggerDelay()); it is at least 40 ms.
*3 The default value of the uc480 API is 60 s. User-defined values can be set using the
is_SetTimeout() function.
