Exposure Mode
The following exposure modes are available on the camera.
Exposure Mode
Description
Off
Exposure control is not performed (free-running operation).
Timed
Mode in which control is performed using exposure time. Acquire images using an
exposure time configured beforehand on an external trigger.
Trigger Width
Mode in which control of the exposure time is performed using the pulse width of the
trigger input signal. The exposure time will be the same as the pulse width of the
trigger input signal. This allows long exposure.
The settings for exposure control and triggers are related to each other. Be sure to configure the settings
described in “Configuring Exposure and External Trigger Settings” (page 16).
Trigger Control
The camera allows the following controls to be performed via external trigger signals.
Trigger Selector
Description
Frame Start
Start exposure in response to the external trigger signal input. Select this to perform
exposure control using external triggers.
Acquisition Start
Start image acquisition in response to the external trigger signal input.
Acquisition End
Stop image acquisition in response to the external trigger signal input.
Acquisition Transfer Start Output acquired images at a specified timing in response to an external trigger
signal input. (Up to 8 frames for 8-bit, and up to 4 frames for 10-/12-bit.)
The settings for exposure control and triggers are related to each other. Be sure to configure the settings
described in “Configuring Exposure and External Trigger Settings” (page 16).
Shortest Repetition Period for Triggers
The reciprocal of the maximum frame rate is the time required to output one frame. The shortest
repetition periods for triggers cannot be lower than that value.

The above table indicates the shortest trigger periods for when [Trigger OverLap] is set to [Readout].
When [Trigger OverLap] is set to [Off], the exposure time is added to the period.
