Exposure Modes in Detail

1. Internally Programmable Line rate and Internally Programmable Exposure Time (Default)
Line rate is the d om inant factor w hen ad ju sting the line rate or exp osu re tim e. When setting the line rate
exp osu re tim e w ill d ecrease, if necessary, to accom m od ate the new line rate. When ad ju sting the
exp osu re tim e the range is lim ited by the line rate.
:
Note
The cam era w ill not set line p eriod s shorter than the read ou t p eriod .
GenICam parameters to set:
I / O Controls > Trigger Mode > Off
2. External Line Rate and External Exposure Time (Trigger Width)
In this m od e, EXSYN C sets both the line p eriod and the exp osu re tim e. The rising ed g e of EXSYN C m arks
the beginning of the exp osu re and the falling ed ge initiates read ou t. N ote:
GenICam parameters to set:

I / O Controls > Trigger Mode > On

Sensor Control > Exposure Mode > Trigger Width
Warning! When ru nning external line rate and external exp osu re tim e, the line rate m u st not exceed 1 /
(exp osu re tim e + 1, 000 ns). Und er these cond itions the exp osu re tim e w ill becom e ind eterm inate and
resu lt in im age artefacts. This is not the case w hen ru nning internal exp osu re control.
3. External Line Rate, Programmable Exposure Time
In this m od e, the line rate is set externally w ith the falling ed ge of EXSYN C generating the rising ed ge of
a p rogram m able exp osu re tim e.
GenICam parameters to set:

I / O Controls > Trigger Mode > On

Sensor Control > Exposure Mode > Timed
