The camera speed is controlled by writing a 3-byte integration time value (in µs) to the three Integration Time registers. These three bytes are then combined to form a 24 bit integration time. The number represents the integer number of microseconds the camera will collect light.
- Page 29 6M3P Camera User’s Manual Programmed Integration/Serial Trigger For external serial controlled triggering with a programmed integration time, a TTL rising edge on bit [7] of serial register 3 triggers the camera to acquire one frame of data. Integration begins within 200ns after the rising edge and stops when the programmed integration time has completed.
