6.2. Camera’s Functions
6.2.1. Shutter Speed
The exposure time (electronic shutter speed) of the camera can be set.
The exposure time can be calculated by the following formula:
Exposure time = the setting value of the shutter speed * 1 H period
※1 H period = 560(Minimum) * 1PCLK ＝11.2μsec.
※1PCLK = 1/50,000,000sec. = 0.020μsec.
6.2.2. External Trigger Function
This camera has an external trigger electronic circuit, which is insulated ｆby a photocoupler, and thus enables
synchronized shooting by the input signal received from the external circuit.
R1 = 2.4kΩ (5～12V)
R2 = 4.7kΩ
