at least 1 µsec shorter than the blue exposure time
.
The above restriction shou ld not to be an issu e for m ost ap p lications, as com m ercial light sou rces
generally ou tp u t less p ow er at the blu e end of the sp ectru m . If the Exp osu re Tim e Color Selector is set to

Further note
that the ord er in w hich the exp osu re tim e color selector valu es are entered is im p ortant .
When entering the exp osu re tim es u sing either the GenICam interface or the three-letter com m and
interface, checks are p erform ed on the entered exp osu re tim es. If a blu e integration tim e is entered that is
shorter than the green or red integration tim e, then an error cond ition w ill be ind icated and the valu e w ill
not be accep ted by the cam era. The sam e is tru e if a red or green integration tim e is entered that is not
sm aller by 1 µsec than the blu e integration tim e.
Be aw are that the above checking is p erform ed on the valu e being entered against the valu es the cam era
cu rrently has set and therefore that the ord er that the valu es are entered is im p ortant. For exam p le, if the
revised blu e valu e is less than the cu rrent blu e valu e, enter the green and red valu es first. If the new blu e
valu e is greater than the cu rrent blu e valu e, enter the blu e valu e first.
