QuickCam User's Manual
Setting the Camera's Line Rate and Exposure
Time
Depending on the camera's exposure mode, you can set the camera's line rate
and/or exposure time. These options are grayed out when you are operating the
camera in an exposure mode that does not allow you to set these
programmatically.
Please note that the exposure time range is calculated based on the current line rate. For
example, in exposure mode 2, a line rate of 5000 Hz allows for a maximum
exposure time of 197.50 µs; whereas, a line rate of 4000 Hz allows for a maximum
exposure time of 247.50 µs.
Use the command get ger in order to have the camera return the maximum
exposure time for the current line rate.
