Camera Performance and Features
Related Feature: Measured Line Rate
The Measured Line Rate command is used to read the line (trigger) rate being applied, externally
or internally, to the camera.
Maximum Line Rate
The maximum line rate that the camera can achieve is determined by the number of CLHS lanes
used and by the number of cables installed, as shown in the following table:

Minimum Line Rate
The minimum line rate for all camera models is 0 kHz. Cameras go to full stop without image
anomaly.
Scan Direction
See the section Camera Control Category in Appendix A for GenICam features associated with this
section and how to use them
Related Feature: sensorScanDirectionSource, sensorScanDirection
A multiline camera requires the user to tell the camera the direction of travel of the object being
imaged.
The scan direction is set using the sensorScanDirectionSource command. The options are: Internal,
Line 2 (pin 6 on the GPIO connector), and the rotary encoder feature (using pin 5 and pin 6 of the
GPIO connector).
When set to internal, use the sensorScanDirection feature to set the direction.
Direction Change Time
The direction change time between forward and revers is < 1 ms.
