6.8. Long Time Exposure Mode
The exposure time is the interval between 2 external VD pulses sent to the VD input. The exposure starts after the input of a VD, and it ends after the next VD input, which again starts a new exposure. The interval between the external VD pulses (exposure time) can be from V to ∞. Thermal and dark current noise will increase by accumulation time, therefore the exposure time is not recommended to exceed 2 seconds (or 30 V periods). The external applied sync system should follow the camera scan system.
The long time exposure is a continuous process where each external VD pulse will synchronize the camera, stop an exposure, start a new exposure and read out the previous accumulated video signal.
A WEN pulse indicates that the resulting video is being read out.
