Frame time
The frame rate can be artificially limited by the
Acquisition control
– Frame time
setting. It is
expressed in µs.
The camera sends an internal trigger signal to the sensor each time it wishes to acquire a
new frame.
By setting the frame time to 0, a new frame is requested as soon as the previous frame is
acquired.
If the frame time is set to a value higher than zero, the maximum frame rate is now limited
to 10
6
/ frame time, regardless of integration time or window size. Note that the actual
frame rate may still be lower than this maximum frame rate.
If
Acquisition control
–Burst frame count
is larger than 1, the frame time defines the rate
between bursts of frames, not individual frames. Individual frames in a burst are generated
as if the frame time is 0. See Chapter 5.3 for more details on the different frame generation
options.
The corresponding camera register may be found in Chapter 9.1.1.
