7.9. PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry)
The Particle Image Velocimetry mode can be used in applications where 2 images should be
taken with a very short time interval. It can only be used with strobe flash as
illumination. The first accumulation time is 10
sec to 15.56ms (in the case of 2 tap and
Binning OFF). Then, the second exposure will be taken. The accumulation is LVAL
asynchronous. The first strobe is activated during the first exposure duration and the
second strobe is taken while the first frame is being read out. In this way, two strobe flashes
generate two video outputs.
The frame rate for full pixels readout is 32.1fps for 2 tap output and 16.1fps for 1 tap
output.
