Synchronous Exposure Alignment

Exposure is synchronous to the internal timing of the sensor. The readout is concurrent to the exposure for the fastest possible frame rate. See Trigger Overlap: Feature Details.

When exposure time is short compared to the readout time and a valid trigger is received during readout, the second exposure could end before the end of the previous frame readout. In this case, the trigger is latched and delayed so that the end of the second exposure matches the end of the previous frame readout. The second frame readout then starts immediately. See TriggerOverlap=Readout with Short Exposure.

• The programmable exposure duration is in 1 µs steps.

• Exposure duration ranges from a sensor-specific minimum (in µs) up to 16 seconds.

• Any trigger received before the start of frame readout is ignored and generates an invalid frame trigger event.

The Exposure Alignment feature can be found in the Sensor Controls category.
