The start of the cycle does not mean the start of the exposure time. There is only a
fixed difference of 100 ns between the start of the cycle and the end of the exposure
time.

Synchronization
If several sensors measure the same target synchronously, the controllers may be
synchronized with each other. The sync output of the first controller
IFD24x1 Master
is connected to the sync inputs of the further controllers, see Chap.
. Notice the
IFD24x1 Master
First controller in the measuring chain; synchronizes any
subsequent controllers.
Slave on IFD24xx Master Controller operates in dependence on the first controller.
Slave on external master
External synchronization. Sync In at the controller is used by
an external synchronization source, such as a frequency gen-
erator. Min. 0.1...10 kHz (IFC2451), 0,1...25 kHz (IFC2461),
0.1...70 kHz (IFC2471LED) respectively 0.3...70 kHz
(IFC2471). It is also possible to simultaneously synchronized
multiple controllers externally.
If the controllers are operated via an EtherCAT interface, then a synchronization can be
realized without a synchronization cable, see Chap.
