9.2 Shutter Control
The Eagle XV cameras are not supplied with a shutter. However, provision for shutter control
is still present and can be configured. By default, the shutter is in the closed position. It can
be programmed to be:
•
Permanently closed
•
Permanently open
•
Open for the duration of a valid exposure time
Additional delay registers may also be programmed to allow a shutter to be fully open before
and fully closed after the exposure period, prior to the CCD being readout. This will prevent
light falling on the sensor during readout and causing smear. If a shutter is not being used it
is recommended to set the open and close delay times both to zero.
