However, in the horizontal direction, the horizontal frequency is not changed if the width is decreased. In the SP-5000M-CXP2, the minimum width is “64” and minimum height is “1”. In the SP- 5000C-CXP2, the minimum width is “64” and minimum height is “2”.
Allowed values range from 36290 Hz to 0.125 Hz for SP-5000M-CXP2, however if the value entered is less than the time required for the default frame rate, the setting is ignored and the default frame rate is used. For example, the minimum frame period for the smallest possible ROI (1 line) requires 36290 Hz, so any entry more than 36290 will always be ignored.
