8.4.7 ExposureActive (Flash Signal)
This signal is managed by exposure of the sensor.
Furthermore, the falling edge of the ExposureActive output signal can be used to trigger
a movement of the inspected objects. Due to this fact, the span time used for the sensor
readout t
readout
can be used optimally in industrial environments.
Depending on Sensor Shutter Mode (only cameras with Rolling Shutter sensors), the
ExposureActive signal is active at different times.
