• In free-run, programmable mode, the pixels are exposed and charge is accumulated when
the internal control signal is low. The line is read out and transferred on the rising edge of the
internal control signal (see Figure 3-6).
In this mode, the Timer 1 setting determines the length of exposure:

You can set the camera to operate in free-run using either the Camera Configuration Tool Plus
(see Section 4.1) or binary commands (see Section 4.2).
With the Camera Configuration Tool Plus, you use the Exposure Time Control Mode Setting in the
Exposure parameter group to set the camera for free-run and to select the edge-controlled or
programmable exposure time control mode. If you choose to operate the camera in free-run, the
configuration tool will require you to enter a line rate; if you are using the programmable mode,
you must also enter an exposure time. The configuration tool will automatically set the Timer 1 and
Timer 2 parameters based on the values that you enter in the Exposure parameter group.
With binary commands you must use the Exposure Time Control Mode command to select the
free-run, edge-controlled or free-run, programmable mode (see Section 4.2.4.2). You must also
use the Timer 1 command to set Timer 1 and the Timer 2 command to set Timer 2.
