  • Page 23: Exposure Control

    6.8.1 Type of exposure, commands :h, :H and :t The EoSens 3CL can expose the images in free run mode or with an external signal on CC1. The external modes are used to synchronize EoSens cameras to each other or to an external event.

  • Page 24: Pulsewidth Mode

    Configuration EoSens 3CL Camera Manual 6.8.3 Pulsewidth mode In this mode an external signal starts exposure and the exposed image is output immediately after the exposure ends. Exposure time is defined by the width of the external EXP (CC1) signal. The exposure of the next image can be started while the last image is transferred or at a later time.

  • Page 25: Other

    Description: If a sequence of frames is to be recorded for long time at a high frame rate, it can be useful to mark the images for later identification or check for completeness. EoSens 3CL has a 32-Bit image counter whose count can replace the first four pixel of every image. It is in- cremented by every new image.
