C11440-22CU/C11440-22CU01 Instruction manual_Ver.1.4 

10-2-4  FREE RUNNING MODE 

The camera has the free running mode which the exposure and readout timing can be set 
by software command and controlled by an internal microprocessor. The free running mode 
has normal readout mode  (in which the exposure time is  longer than the 1 frame readout 
time) and  electrical shutter mode (in which the exposure time is shorter than the 1  frame 
readout time). These readout modes are automatically switched depending on the exposure 
time setting. 

 

 

Note 

 

• 

Please contact to Hamamatsu subsidiary or local distributor for the detail of the timing information.   

 

10-2-4-1  Normal readout mode 

The normal readout mode is suitable for observation, monitoring, field of view and focus 
adjustment, and animation because it can operate with full resolution, which is faster than the 
video rate*. (* at Camera Link = 100 frame/s, at USB 3.0 = 30 frame/s) 
In addition, the exposure time can be extended to collect more signals and increase the 
signal-to-noise ratio if the object is dark. In the normal readout mode, the exposure time is the 
same or longer than the 1 frame readout time. In this mode, the frame rate depends on the 
exposure time, and it becomes frame rate = 1/exposure time. The maximum exposure time is 
10 s.
