Page 19: Image Format/Speed Change
Exposure time table 6-1 6.7.1 Type of exposure The MC132x can expose the images synchronous or asynchronous. An external signal on CC1 can be used to synchronize MC132x cameras to each other or to an external event. 6.7.1.1 Synchronous exposure Synchronous exposure means that the next image is exposed, while the current image is output. -
Page 20: Frame Rate With Synchronous Exposure
Configuration MC132x Users Manual Rev. 0.22 6.7.1.2 Asynchronous exposure With asynchronous exposure, an external signal starts exposure, and the exposed image is output imme- diately after the exposure ends. Exposure time is defined either by an internal timer or by the width of the external EXP (CC1) signal. -

Page 23: Update Fpga Firmware
6.8.2 Update FPGA firmware MC132x’s logic is integrated into a FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array), which’s configuration is stored in an EEPROM. Upon power up or a command the FPGA is loaded with this configuration. Con- figuration data can be downloaded via the serial interface. Mikrotron may provide configuration files (*.ibf) on request. -
