Logic trigger Trigger signal seen by the camera internal logic (not visible to the user). Propagation delay between the user trigger and the logic trigger.
  • Page 44 Camera interfaces • The start of exposure must always correspond with the interline time if Readout is true. • Exposure start delay equals the Readout time minus the registered expo- sure time. Triggering during the idle state For applications requiring the shortest possible trigger latency and the smallest possible trigger jitter the user trigger signal should be applied when Imaging is false and Idle is true.

    Description of the data path Frame memory An image is normally captured and transmitted in consecutive steps. The image is taken, read out from the sensor, digitized and sent over the Gigabit Ethernet network. Bigeye G cameras are equipped with 32 MByte of RAM. The table below shows how many frames can be stored by each model.
