Linea HS Multifield Camera
Measuring Line (Trigger) Rate
See Camera Control Category in Appendix A for GenICam features associated with this section and
how to use them.
Related Feature: Measured Line Rate
The Measured Line Rate command is used to read the line (trigger) rate being applied, externally
or internally, to the camera.
Maximum Line Rate
The maximum achievable line rate is determined by the number of CLHS lanes and the number of
cables installed, as shown in the following table:

*The Linea HS 16K 12-bit maximum line rate values shown here are theoretical. The maximum achievable line
rate depends on the frame grabber and imaging system (including CPU) used. Depending on your setup, lower
line rates may be experienced.
These line rates were achieved using an
Xtium2-CLHS PX8 (OR-A8S0-PX870)
frame grabber in a system
setup in our lab.

Teledyne DALSA customer support
Minimum Line Rate
The minimum line rate for the camera is 300 Hz.
Scan Direction
See the section Camera Control Category in Appendix A for GenICam features associated with this
section and how to use them
Related Feature: sensorScanDirectionSource, sensorScanDirection
A TDI camera model requires the user to indicate to the camera the direction of travel of the object
being imaged.
The source of the scan direction is set using the sensorScanDirectionSource feature. The options
are: Internal, Line 2 (pin 6 on the GPIO connector), or the rotary encoder feature (using pin 5 and
pin 6 of the GPIO connector, only available when TriggerSource is “RotaryEncoder” and
rotaryEncoderOutputMode is set to “Motion”).
When set to internal, use the sensorScanDirection feature to set the direction.
