Microcontroller sync is an internal signal. It is generated by the microcon-
troller to initiate a trigger. This can either be a direct trigger or a release for
ExSync, if the camera is externally triggered.
End of exposure to first packet on the bus
After the exposure, the CCD sensor is read out; some data is written into the
FRAME_BUFFER before being transmitted to the bus.
The time from the end of exposure to the start of transport on the bus is:
500 µs ± 62.5 µs
This time
jitters
with the cycle time of the bus (125 µs).
