• Exposure start delay equals the readout time minus the registered exposure
time.
Triggering during the idle state
For applications requiring the shortest possible Trigger Latency and the smallest
possible Trigger Jitter the User Trigger signal should be applied when Imaging is
false and Idle is true. In this case, Trigger Latency and Trigger Jitter are as indicated
in the camera specifications section.
Triggering during the readout state
For applications requiring the fastest triggering cycle time whereby the camera
image sensor is exposing and reading out simultaneously, apply the
User Trigger
signal as soon as a valid Trigger Ready is detected. In this case, Trigger Latency and
Trigger Jitter can be up to 1 row time since Exposure must always begin on an
Interline boundary.
For a more detailed description of the trigger concept for advanced users and
special scenarios, see the Triggering Concept application note:
