Only then, the exposure of first frame is started, which is followed by the data readout. XIMEA cameras supports several triggered modes along with single image exposure after one trigger. The trigger signal can be either edge sensitive or level sensitive. -
Page 69: Triggered Acquisition - Single Frame
4.3.2.1. Triggered acquisition - single frame Sensors support exposure overlapped with readout. When the trigger period (t ) is longer than the exposure plus readout time, tper exposure is not overlapped with readout. However when the trigger period is decreased, the sensor will expose the images in overlap mode. -

Page 71: Camera Parameters And Features
4.4. Camera Parameters and Features 4.4.1. Exposure Time Also known as shutter speed. This parameter defines the length of the integration period for each frame. Most CMOS sensors generate the exposure interval internally. For some it is possible to control it by external signaling. The sensor internal timing depends on the provided system clock. -
Page 72: Color Correction Matrix
4.5.5. Color Correction Matrix The color correction matrix is a 4x4-matrix which is applied on each pixel of an image in a host-assisted port-processing step. For example, this Matrix can be used to adjust the brightness, contrast, and saturation. 4.5.6. Sensor Defect Correction During the manufacturing process, every camera is tested for various type of defects and a list of the measured defect pixels is created and stored in the camera’s non-volatile memory. -

4.5.7. Some sensors offer the ability to acquire images with a higher dynamic range than the value presented in the specification. High dynamic range can be achieved by several means as part of the sensor output. The feature supported by CB200xG-CM camera is a piecewise linear response, a so-called multiple slope integration. - Page 74 The dynamic range can be increased by dividing the integration (exposure time) in two or three phases (slopes), with different maximum saturation levels. The CB200xG-CM camera supports the dividing in three slopes. To use this kind of HDR method the user has to define two pairs of parameters: (T1, SL1) and (T2, SL2). •...
- Page 75 Description of the multiple slope integration: Phase 1 • All pixels are integrated until they reach the defined saturation level of kneepoint1 (SL1). • If the saturation level of kneepoint1 is reached, the integration stops. SL1 is the maximum saturation level for all pixels in this phase.
