Note 1: If the shutter pulse is requested in region 3, it will be fired in region 1.<br />

Note 2: If the shutter pulse is requested in region 5, it will be fired in region 4.<br />

The new exposure time value depends on the AOI size and the frame rate. There are four<br />

different cases and are analyzed below (refer to Figure 15):<br />

Case A: Not affected by fast dump. The exposure time is set to the requested value.<br />

Case B: The exposure time requested requires that the electronic shutter be activated in<br />

region 3. The electronic shutter cannot be activated during the fast dump so the<br />

integration time will be reduced to the new value = <strong>Frame</strong> Time – Readout.<br />

Case C: The exposure time requested requires that the electronic shutter be activated in<br />

region 4. The electronic shutter will be fired in the same region and the exposure time<br />

is set to the entered value +/- the uncertainty error.<br />

Case D: The exposure time requested requires that the electronic shutter be activated in<br />

region 5. The electronic shutter cannot be activated during the fast dump so the<br />

integration time will be reduced to the value = <strong>Frame</strong> Time – Readout + Region 3 +<br />

Region 4.<br />
