Selecting an Operating Mode
Retriggered
Each exposure is started by a signal connected to the EXPOSE input pins of the
AIA interface connector or the trigger input on the rear panel of the camera. The
exposure command sets the exposure time. An exposure starts 20 microseconds
(± 100 nanoseconds) after the active edge of the trigger pulse and ends after the
exposure time set by the EXE command, unless another trigger is received. The
active edge of the trigger pulse is selected using the TRM command.
The EXPOSE input sets the start time for each frame of video, even if the preced-
ing frame readout is not complete. An EXPOSE signal stops the current frame,
outputs the video data to that point, and then starts a new frame.
MODE
Use this command to set the camera mode of operation.
Type In: Response Explanation
MDE CS CR-LF Sets the mode to continuous.
MDE CD CR-LF Sets the mode to controlled.
MDE TR CR-LF Sets the mode to trigger.
MDE RT CR-LF Sets the mode to retriggered.
MDE? Queries the current mode setting.
MDE xx Means the mode is set as indicated.
FRAME RATE SELECT
The camera may operate in several different frame rates specified in frames per
second (fps)
Type In: Response Explanation
FRS 15 CR-LF Sets the camera frame rate to 15 fps.
FRS 25 CR-LF Sets the camera frame rate to 25 fps.
FRS 30 CR-LF Sets the camera frame rate to 30 fps.
FRS 50 CR-LF Sets the camera frame rate to 50 fps.
FRS 60 CR-LF Sets the camera frame rate to 60 fps.
FRS 85 CR-LF Sets the camera frame rate to 85 fps.
FRS? Queries the camera frame rate setting.
FRS xx Where xx is the frame rate in continuous mode. The
frame rate is modified by alternate row readout and
block mode readout. The modified frame rate is
calculated in the camera, and reported when a FRS?
query is received.
