Overlapped / pipelined transfer
SDK
By default, the steps exposure and readout out of an image sensor are
done one after the other.
• By design, CCD sensors support overlap capabilities also combined
with trigger (see figure).
• In contrast, so-called pipelined CMOS sensors only support the over-
lapped mode. Even less CMOS sensors support the overlapped
mode combined with trigger.
Please check the sensor summary (p. 64).
In overlapping mode, the exposure starts the exposure time earlier during
readout.
Note
In overlapped trigger mode, you have to keep in mind the following
formula
interval between two trigger events >= (readout time - exposure
time)
Sofware development kit (SDK). The standard image processing
software library from MARTIX VISION is mvIMPACT.
