There are no line rate lim itations other than the am ou nt of gate d ark cu rrent that can be tolerated  at low
line rates.
For inform ation on artifacts that m ay be exp erienced  w hile u sing this m od e, see the Artifacts section

There are no tim ing or exp osu re anom alies other than situ ations w her e EXSYN C is rem oved  from
cam era. In this case, the cam era can be set  to  op erate in a "w atchd og" state.

The w atchd og w ill start DC clear at frequ encies = or < 10 H z, w here d ark cu rrent is significant.
A sm all DN  step  w ill be visible in the im age w here th e w atchd og tu rns on and  off.
The w atchd og op erates on the single threshold . If sync frequ ency is not in the sharp  transition w atchd og

Gate dark current clear mode (always on, srm 1)

In this m od e the gate d ark cu rrent w ill be cleared  continu ou sly.
After the trigger (EXSYN C) is received , the d ark cu rrent is cleared  from  the im age sensor before the
