3.4.2.2 Selecting a Free-run Exposure Mode, Setting the Line Period and
Setting the Exposure Time
You can select a free-run exposure time control mode, set the line period and set the exposure
time for the free-run programmable mode with the Camera Configuration Tool Plus (CCT+) or by
using binary write commands from within your own application to set the camera's control and
status registers (CSRs).
With the CCT+
With the CCT+ (see Section 4.1), you use the Exposure Time Control Mode parameter in the
Exposure parameters group to select the free-run edge-controlled or free-run programmable
exposure time control mode. The Line Period parameter is used to set the line period. If you select
the free-run programmable mode, you can use the Exposure Time parameter to set the exposure
time.
By Setting CSRs
You select the exposure time control mode by writing a value to the Mode field of the Exposure
Time Control Mode CSR (see page 4-14).
You set the line period by writing a value to the Absolute Line Period field or to the Raw Line Period
field of the Line Period CSR (see page 4-16).
If you select the free-run programmable mode, you will also need to set the exposure time. You
set the exposure time by writing a value to the Absolute Exposure Time field or to the Raw
Exposure Time field of the Exposure Time CSR (see page 4-14).
Section 4.2.2 explains CSRs and the difference between using the "absolute" field and the "raw"
field in a CSR. Section 4.3.1 explains using read/write commands.
