7.8. PIV (Particle Image Velocimetry)
The Particle Image Velocimetry mode can be used in applications where 2 images need to 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 2 sec. 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 pulsed while the first frame is being read out. In this way, two strobe flashes generate two
video outputs.
