Integration time can be less than 1/frame rate, but it can never be greater. You can program fixed integration and frame rates (or use defaults) and let thecamera “free run.” You can program fixed integration time and supply a (asynchronous) triggersignal to control frame rate, either by toggling a bit or by supplying a TTL pulseon the SMA connector. This is referred to as “Programmed Integration/ExternalTrigger Mode.” You can also have the camera integrate as long as an asynchronous TTL pulse isheld high. This pulse will therefore control both integration time and frame rate.This is also known as “External Integrate Mode.”For a given frame rate, the maximum integration time is limited to the frame periodless an overhead factor required for proper operation of the CCD. Maximumintegration time is defined by this equation:Max Integration Time = (1/Frame Rate) – Readout TimeThis equation is valid for all binning modes, free running, external trigger andexternal integrate modes.Note that binning mode impacts the Read Time and limits Integration Time.
