If you enter an exposure time outside of a valid range, the
input will be clipped to the min or max. Refer to the help
screen (h command) for the valid range.
Changing the exposure time will automatically adjust the
frame rate if necessary. The camera sends a warning when
this occurs.

3.7.3 Exposure Modes in Detail
Mode 2: Internally Programmable Frame Rate and Exposure Time (Default)
The parameter being programmed (that is, frame rate or exposure time) will be the driving factor so that
when setting the frame rate, exposure time will decrease, if necessary, to accommodate the new frame
rate. In reverse, the frame rate is decreased, if necessary, when the exposure time entered is greater
than the frame period.
Note: The camera will not set the frame period shorter than the readout period.
