Overview: Setting Frame Time and Exposure Time
The camera’s frame rate (synchronization) can be generated internally through software
commands or input externally from a frame grabber/host system. To select how you
want the camera’s frame rate to be generated:
1. You must first set the camera mode using the
sem
command. Refer to Step One on
the next page for details.
2. If operating in exposure mode 3, use the command
sec
to enable or disable exposure
control.
