6.4.2Programmable Exposure-Continuous Mode

The exposure time of TM-4200CL can be specified from one video line to a maximum of one frame using the serial communication commands in the Continuous Mode. There is overhead where the specified exposure time is n video lines, making the real exposure time equal to

Exposure Time=

{

(n+1) *32.5 μs+25.6μs

Dual Tap

 

(n+1) *58.1 μs+25.6μs

Single Tap

When n=0, the exposure time is the minimum exposure time. It is equal to:

Minimum Exposure Time=

{

58.1 μs (1/17000s)

Dual Tap

 

83.7 μs (1/12000s)

Single Tap

In this mode the maximum exposure time is equal to the setting for one frame. If the user specified exposure time is longer than the time allowed for one frame, it will be ignored by the camera.

6.4.3Asynchronous No Shutter Mode

In Asynchronous No Shutter Mode, applying the external trigger starts a camera scan reset. The camera finishes the line it is scanning and scans an additional 9 video lines, this charge is sent to the horizontal register.

Because the external trigger is randomly applied, the new image charge may overlap with the previous image. To prevent an existing charge accumulation from interfering with a new image, most users set up
