Figure 37. Timing Diagram For Non-Overlap Mode - Princeton Instruments PhotonMAX System Manual

52
Example: Non-Overlap Mode
Operation in Non-Overlap mode is illustrated in the timing diagram below. In this
example, the exposure time is 10 ms and the readout time is 34.8 ms. The total time to
take 3 frames is 134.4 ms (3 × 10 ms + 3 × 34.8 ms), equivalent to a frame rate of 22.3
fps (3 frames ÷ 0.134 seconds).
Note: The exposure and readout times listed are for illustration purpose only. Actual
values may vary. Refer to the product data sheet for the actual readout times.
Referring to Figure 37, it can be seen that exposure and readout are carried out in non-
overlapped fashion. As a result, each frame in the sequence is precisely exposed for the
time specified (i.e., 10 ms).
