11-4-4  READOUT TIME OF THE HORIZONTAL LINE 

Readout time and exposure time can be varied with Dual Lightsheet Readout Mode for synchronizing 
the camera readout with the illumination scan. 
 

Vn  = Number of vertical line 
1H  = 9.744 36 µs to 100 ms 

Readout time = Vn × 1H 

 

The range of exposure time with Lightsheet Readout Mode is as shown below. 
The maximum exposure time can be decided according to the readout time of a frame, which is longer 
than 10 s or not. 
 

1H to (Vn × 1H)    : when (Vn × 1H) < 10 s 
1H to 10 s

     

: when (Vn × 1H) ≥ 10 s
