Software triggered operation should only be used when latencies
are considered as neglectable !!!
Frame rate: It allows to alter the frame rate between 1 and the specified
maximum value.
Exposure: The exposure time can be set in µsec. The minimal exposure time
is about 50 µsec (depending on the camera type and speed). The longest is
about several seconds (triggered modes). Due to the internal timing of the
camera the program will adjust the values to the appropriate values.

Inter-packet delay
The inter-packet delay has impact on a camera’s bandwidth usage. A setting of
an inter-packet delay of zero will send all image packets as fast as they are
available dependent on the camera’s pixel clock, e.g. at 50 MHz. This is the
preferred setting when operating a single camera on a network interface.
In case of multiple cameras or other devices working on the same physical
network it might be desirable to send the packets of a camera’s streaming
channel with a certain inter-packet delay in order to allow multiple cameras or
devices to share a given network bandwidth.
NOTE: The inter-packet delay should be below the value which would
decrease the frame rate.
5.2 Image
The image panel displays information about the picture geometry, the pixel
clock and it allows for the following settings:
AOI (area of interest) which can be less or equal the imager size
Binning mode (off, vertical, horizontal, 2x2)
No Binning
= full resolution: horizontal x 1, vertical x 1 (default setting)
H2 x V2 x: vertical 2 x and horizontal 2 x at the same time; Resolution:
horizontal x ½, vertical x ½, Sensitivity is 4 x, pixel frequency is halved, max.
frame rate is almost doubled. “No Binning” sets the camera to full resolution,
H1 x 2 and 2 x 1 binning is also available
If you need other binning mode configurations consult factory or your nearest
distributor.
Please note:
Using binning with a color version of the camera will cause
incorrect colors and strange effects!
However, for fast focusing it might be
useful.
