Setting Exposure Time<br />

Camera must be operating in exposure mode 2 or mode 6.<br />

Shutter/Exposure Timing<br />

Because the Pantera SA <strong>2M30</strong> can be reading out a previous image while shuttering for<br />

the next image there are some timing constrains imposed by the sensor specification on<br />

this timing. The result is that the actual integration time of the camera must be<br />

synchronized to the vertical clocking. The vertical clocks have a period of about 30µs so<br />

this produces an uncertainty window around the desired integration time to what is<br />

generated by the camera. The figure below shows how this uncertainty window is<br />

applied for various operating conditions.<br />
