Measuring Line Rate (Trigger)
See Camera Control Category in Appendix A for GenICam features associated with this section and
how to use them.
Relevant Feature:
The camera has the means to measure the line (trigger) rate that is currently being applied to the
trigger input of the camera, or what is being internally generated.
Maximum Line Rate
The maximum line rate that the camera can achieve is determined by the number of CLHS lanes
used and by the number of cables installed, as shown in the table below.

Scan Direction
See the section Camera Control Category in Appendix A for GenICam features associated with this
section and how to use them
Since the camera is a multiline model, the user needs to indicate to the camera the direction of
travel of the object being imaged. The scan direction is set using the sensorScanDirectionSource
command. The options are: Internal, Line 2 (pin 6 on the GPIO connector), the Camera Link HS
frame grabber, or the rotary encoder feature (using pin 5 and pin 6 of the GPIO connector).
When set to internal, use the sensorScanDirection feature to set the direction.
Direction Change Time
The direction change time between forward and revers is < 1 ms.
