3.7.4 Setting the Frame Rate
To set the camera frame rate, the camera must be operating in exposure mode 2. Changing the frame
rate will automatically adjust the exposure time if necessary. The camera sends a warning when this
occurs.
Refer to section
3.6.2 Setting the Camera’s Pixel Rate on page 35 for more information on how to set the
camera’s pixel rate.
The allowable range of frame rates is dependent on the current Camera Link mode and window size.
Refer to section
3.6.1 How to Configure Camera Output on page 34 for more information on Camera Link
modes and section
3.8 Setting a Vertical Window of Interest on page 44 for more information on setting a
window size.
