Mako U Technical Manual V1.1.3
Best practice rules for triggering
•
Set the trigger to
RisingEdge
for fastest possible reaction time.
•
Set the trigger pulse width in the supported range, see
•
Consider that the end of exposure triggers the next readout.
•
Make sure the exposure of a frame ends after the readout of the previous
frame.
•
Start exposure only between the readouts of two lines.
•
Consider that exposure start delay = readout time - exposure time.
Triggering when ReadoutActive is low
Apply
FrameStart
trigger when
ReadoutActive
is low. This way, you keep
trigger latency (including exposure start jitter) short.
Triggering when ReadoutActive is high
For fastest triggering cycle time with simultaneous exposure and readout, apply
FrameStart
trigger immediately when
FrameTriggerWait
is high.
Because exposure must always begin at sensor line synchronization, the exposure
start jitter can be up to 1 line cycle.
