Set Line Rate
To set the camera’s line rate use the line rate parameter, part of the Sensor Controls set.
This feature can only be used when the camera is in Internal mode—that is, when the start
line trigger is disabled (Trigger Mode Off).
Maximum line rate = 33 kHz.
Note
: The line rate must be less than 1 / (Exposure time + 2.5 µs). Entering a value that
violates this condition will return an error (“Invalid Parameter”). You must adjust these two
parameters in the correct sequence to maintain this condition.
If the external line rate exceeds 33 kHz the camera will continue to output data at its
maximum line rate of 33 kHz. Though no image artefacts associated with over-speed will
occur, you may notice that under over-speed conditions the image will appear compressed
and the apparent distance travelled will be reduced.
