Figure 140: Working with Timer and "Trigger Delay"

20.4  Using the HDR mode with sensor -x00w

The HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode of the sensor -x00w increases the usable contrast range. This is
achieved by dividing the integration time in two or three phases. The exposure time proportion of the three
phases can be set independently. Furthermore, it can be set, how many signal of each phase is charged.
