The 1M75 only outputs the mostsignificant 8 bits.2.9 TimingThe cameras feature many possibilities for flexible timing. In free running mode, thecamera delivers, independently of external signals, data according to the timing settingsin the internal registers. In triggered mode, the camera starts integration after an externaltrigger pulse. During integration and readout all further trigger pulses are ignored. Themaximum rate at which the camera accepts external triggers is defined by the frametimer. The minimum exposure time, for any operating mode, is 560 ns.Frame TimerThe frame timer is used to fix the frame rate of the camera in free running mode or to setthe maximum rate at which the camera accepts external triggers. In order to obtain themaximum frame rate, the frame timer must be set as close to the sum of the readout time,exposure time, and reset time as possible. This is especially important if the frame rate isto be increased by windowing. Note: The reset time is small, at 1-2μs.Figure 10: External Trigger Mode, Constant Image Data RateIntegration ReadoutFrame TimerExsyncIgnoredExsyncIntegrationResetFigure 11: External Trigger Mode, Variable Image Data RateIntegration Readout Reset Integration
