Exposure Time

The Grasshopper3 PGE supports Continuous, Off, and Once control of the image sensor exposure time.
Exposure times are scaled by the divider of the basic frame rate. For example, dividing the frame rate by two (e.g.
15 FPS to 7.5 FPS) causes the maximum exposure time to double (e.g. 66 ms to 133 ms).
The maximum exposure time can be extended beyond the normal range by disabling the frame rate. Once the
frame rate is disabled, you should see the maximum value of the exposure time increase.
The supported exposure time range is:
GS3-PGE-23S6M-C
GS3-PGE-23S6C-C
GS3-PGE-50S5M-C
GS3-PGE-50S5C-C
GS3-PGE-60S6M-C
GS3-PGE-60S6C-C
GS3-PGE-91S6M-C
