Free run Exposure Mode

 

In Free Run Exposure Mode, the exposure time is set through the registers, and 

exposure/readout  continue  repeatedly  with  the  exposure  time.  The  possible 

range of exposure time, and the relationship between the timing of exposure and 

readout is explained below. The minimum exposure time/scan cycle may change 

depending on the image format setting. 

The minimum scan cycle will be the larger of (1) or (2) below: 

(1) Sensor minimum output period (µs)   

= 10.3 (when outputting central 1024 pixels or less) 

   

18.8 (when more than the above) 

(2) 1 line minimum transmission period (µs)   

= image width (Width) x Bytes/pixel / image transmission rate (115Mbyte/s) x 10

Notes: 

   

Setting a scan cycle lower than (2) may result in dropped frames. 

 

Table 4-6-1 shows the exposure time range when outputting 2048 pixels and the central 

1024 pixels.
