3.9 Setting Line Rate and Exposure Mode
The camera’s line rate (synchronization) is generated internally or input from a frame

many possibilities for flexible camera timing. Table 7 outlines each of these six exposure
modes, and is followed by a full explanation on how to set the camera’s frame rate and
exposure time.
