[Preliminary] ATMOS -2M60/2M30

If shutter time is set to > 0:

Readout is suspended between two consecutive frame readout and shutter output signal is acti-

vated (programmable polarity) for a time configurable within 0 to Tsh range by step of T1.

Figure 4-2. Free-run Mode and Shutter Chronogram

The maximum frame rate of 48 frame/s for the 2M60 camera (or 24 frame/s for the 2M30 cam-

era) is given in this mode with a shutter time set to 0.

See register Aperture Shutter Time @ 246H, Internal Register Mapping on page 16.

4.1.3 Triggered Mode

Principle: An external trigger starts the reset of the sensor, then snap and readout of a frame,

the integration time is defined by readout time (+ programmable shutter time, when used).

The trigger event initiates the following sequence:

• Stop of readout frame in progress and reset of readout pointer to line 1

• Readout of previous dummy frame and integration start of the frame N. The readout data of

previous frame is not forwarded on Camera Link interface (FVAL inactive)

• Shutter output signal is activated during a time programmable within 0 to Tsh range by step

of T1
