Camera Performance and Features

Use exposureTimeSelector to select whether to set the exposure time of each row independently or all

to the same value. exposureDelay is only configurable when in Sequential exposure mode. Adjusting

the exposure will result in a temporary loss of LVAL (8 lines) while the sensor is re-configured.

Timed Exposure Mode

Also called Global Reset Mode, the exposure begins when the line trigger occurs. If some rows have

shorter exposure times then they are held in reset longer such that all the rows finish exposing at the

same time and read out begins.

The minimum exposure time depends on the number of rows being read out. The maximum time is

1,500

s. The minimum line period is the largest exposure time + 0.83

s. With internal trigger mode

the line rate will be decreased as necessary if the exposure time is increased. Similarly the exposure

times will be decreased as necessary if the line rate is increased. If this happens the ratio between the

different row exposure times will be maintained (e.g. to maintain white balance). In external trigger

mode the maximum line rate will be limited by the current exposure time.

Sequential Exposure Mode

In this mode the rows are exposed in order: 0, 1, 2, 3. Use this for multi-spectral imaging using strobe

illumination. In this mode the delay before the exposure can be configured for each row. The counters

are smaller in this mode and so the maximum delay or exposure time is 45.48

s. Similar to timed

mode, the sum of the delays and exposure times will limit the line rate.

Strobe lighting is synchronized using the General Purpose Outputs in the Digital IO Control

category. Set the row with the LineSelector feature. Set the outputLineSource to On. And then set

the outputLinePulseDelay, outputLinePulseDuration, and LineInverter.

Exposure Time Selector

See the section Camera Control Category in Appendix A for GenICam features associated with this

section and how to use them.

Relevant Feature: ExposureTimeSelector

The Exposure Time Selector allows the user to set the exposure time of each line individually or all

to the same exposure time. Note: If TDIstagesSelector is set to 2 or 3 all lines will automatically

be set to the same exposure time.

Measuring Exposure Time

See the section Camera Control Category in Appendix A for GenICam features associated with this

section and how to use them.

Relevant Feature: Measured Exposure Time

Use the Measure Exposure Time command to measure the camera’s internally generated exposure

time.
