7.3.5 Trigger Mode
After a specified external event (
trigger) has occurred, image acquisition is started. De-
pending on the interval of triggers used, the camera operates non-overlapped or over-
lapped in this mode.
With regard to timings in the trigger mode, the following basic formulas need to be taken
into consideration:
Case

t
exposure

(1)
t
earliestpossibletrigger(n+1)
= t
readout(n)
- t

(2)

= t

+ t

- t

t

(4)
