2.6.2.3Image Synchronization Considerations

The Pyrocam I’s Digital Output only produces an image each time new data is available. It will not continuously output the same frame repeatedly. Thus, the rate of new output beam images is a function of the Pulse or Chopping rate and image processing time. For this reason, you should operate the LBA-500PC in Video Trigger mode only.

If you are using a Pulsed laser with your Pyrocam I, the Pyrocam will attempt to output a new image with each laser pulse, however, depending upon the pulse rate, it may not be able to keep up.

The exact same type of problem occurs in Chopped mode. The chop frequencies must be either 24Hz or 48Hz. The Pyrocam may be able to keep up at 24Hz, but will lose some frames at 48Hz.
