Configuration of the camera
Frame time control
With this register you can set the frame time (in microseconds) and thus control
the sensor frame rate more precisely than with the BytesPerPacket settings.
•
The precision of the frame rate depends on the jitter at start of exposure:
see
•
The frame rate is affected by both: current shutter time and BytesPerPacket
setting.
•
The FRAMETIME_CTRL register doesn’t change the shutter or BytePerPacket
settings.
Note
•
A profile save operation automatically disables capturing
of images.
•
A profile save or restore operation is an uninterruptable
(atomic) operation. The write response (of the asynchro-
nous write cycle) will be sent after completion of the
operation.
•
Restoring a profile will not overwrite other settings than
listed above.
•
If a restore operation fails or the specified profile does
not exist, all registers will be overwritten with the hard-
coded factory defaults (profile #0).
•
Data written to this register will not be reflected in the
standard memory channel registers.
Note
•
The image transport speed depends on the
BytesPerPacket setting only.
•
The camera corrects invalid values automatically.
