(2) Electrical shutter

The electrical shutter mode is used to get a proper signal level when signal overflow happens due

to too much input photons in normal readout mode. In this mode, the fastest frame rate is 120 fps

(Standard scan via CoaXPress), 17.6 fps (standard scan via USB) or 5.00 fps (Ultra quiet scan)

at full resolution even when the exposure time is short.

CoaXPress:

Figure 11-3

USB:
