WARNING: Do not set integration time higher than the limits of the equation above.
Unpredictable operation may result

The default integration time was chosen to give a frame rate of 60 fps (see section
3.12 Controlling Frame Rate). Changing the integration time involves writing to the
three integration time registers.

3.11 Controlling Integration (Shutter Time)

The 1M60 allows you to control integration (also known as exposure time or shutter
time) in five ways.
The register settings required for each mode are defined in the following table

Programmed Integration/Free Running: (default) The camera free runs with
the internally programmed integration time and frame rate
Programmed Integration/SMA Trigger: The camera will integrate for the
internally programmed time when triggered by a TTL high pulse on the SMA
connector.
Programmed Integration/Serial trigger: The camera will integrate for the
internally programmed time when triggered by high signal on the serial
interface.
External Integration/SMA Trigger: The camera will integrate as long as the
TTL pulse on the TRIGGER IN SMA connector is high. The integration time is
effectively the input pulse width. In this mode, TRIGGER IN also controls the
frame rate.
External Integration/Serial Trigger: The camera will integrate as long as the
serial bit is held high. The integration time is effectively the input pulse width.
In this mode, the serial signal also controls the frame rate. Due to variation in
the host operating system, this mode is generally used only for camera setup and
functional testing.
