A1.4 Exposure Mode, Readout Mode, Line Rate and

Exposure Time

Overview

You have a choice of operating in one of seven modes. The camera’s line rate

(synchronization) can be generated internally through the software command

ssf or set

externally with an EXSYNC signal, depending on your mode of operation. To select how

you want the camera’s line rate to be generated:

1. You must first set the camera mode using the 19Hsem command.

2. Next, if using mode 2, 7 or 8 use the commands 20Hssf and/or 21Hset to set the line rate and

exposure time.

Setting the Exposure Mode

Purpose: Sets the camera’s exposure mode allowing you to control your

sync, exposure time, and line rate generation.

Syntax:

sem i

Syntax Elements:

Exposure mode to use. Factory setting is 7.

Notes:
