4. A short exposure refers to an exposure that is less than a Frame readout time. (Depends on ROI selected).
5. A long exposure refers to an exposure time that is greater than a Frame readout time. (Depends on ROI
selected).
6. Image acquisition must be stopped to change between short and long exposures. Fast Exposure Switching
can occur in the triggering modes shown above but the exposure time is then limited to the exposure range
shown for each sequence.
7. Fast exposure switching only avaliable within the short or long exposure range not across these regimes.

The following acquisition modes can be supported:
•
Single Scan
•
Kinetic Series
•
Accumulate
•
Run Till Abort
NOTES:
1. The term ‘User Frame’, in this section refers to a single frame in Rolling Shutter mode and a Reference/
Signal frame pair in Global Shutter mode.
2. The term ‘valid trigger’ refers to a trigger that is applied when the camera is ready to accept it.

Single Scan
refers to an acquisition in which only one user frame is transmitted from the camera.
A user frame is output from the sensor on receipt of a valid trigger of the selected type and then transmitted from the
camera. Note that any subsequent triggers within the same acquisition are ignored.

Kinetic Series
refers to an acquisition in which a finite number of user frames are transmitted from the camera. The
number of frames in a Kinetic Series is defined by the user. One user frame is output from the sensor on receipt of
each valid trigger of the selected type. Valid triggers continue to output user frames from the sensor until the defined
number of user frames has been reached.
Note that after the required number of valid triggers has been received, any
subsequent triggers within the same acquisition are ignored.
