Time base
Corresponding to IIDC, exposure time is set via a 12-bit value in the corre-
sponding register (SHUTTER_INQ [51Ch] and SHUTTER [81Ch]).
This means that a value in the range of 1 to 4095 can be entered.
Marlin cameras use a time-base which is multiplied by the shutter register
value. This multiplier is configured as the time base via the TIMEBASE regis-
ter.
The time base IDs 0-9 are in bits 28 to 31. See
Table 103: Timebase ID
on
page 209. Refer to the following table for code.
Default time-base is 20 µs: This means that the integration time can be
changed in 20 µs increments with the shutter control.
The
ExpOffset
field specifies the camera specific exposure time offset in
microseconds (µs). This time (which should be equivalent to
Table 43: Cam-
era-specific minimum exposure time
on page 121) has to be added to the
exposure time (set by any shutter register) to compute the real exposure
time.
The
ExpOffset
field might be zero for some cameras: this has to be assumed
as an unknown exposure time offset (according to former software versions).

Time base can only be changed when the camera is in idle
state and becomes active only after setting the shutter value.
