3.4.7 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 DE
CR-LF Sets the mode to triggered double exposure.
MDE?
Queries the current mode setting.
MDE xx Means the mode is set as indicated.
NOTE: The FRS command sets the maximum frame rate limit in controlled and continuous
modes. FRS must be set to 15 in double exposure mode.
3.4.8 Exposure
This command sets the camera exposure time in increments of 0.0636 milliseconds. The
argument for this command must be an integer value from 2 to 510 in dual channel mode, or 2 to
1020 in single channel mode. The corrected exposure time in milliseconds to three decimal
places is returned in response to a query. The exposure time setting is valid for the continuous
and trigger modes only. If the TPD command was executed with a value of 0, the time set by the
EXE command becomes the transfer pulse delay.
TYPE IN: RESPONSE EXPLANATION
EXE xxxx
CR-LF Sets the exposure in integer increments of 0.0636
milliseconds. The argument range is from 2 to 510 (30
fps) or 2 to 1020 (15 fps).
EXE?
Queries the current exposure setting. The value
returned will be in milliseconds and equal to 0.0636
times the integer value entered with the last EXE
command.
BNS?
Queries the current binning selection.
EXE xxxx Means the exposure is set as indicated, expressed in
milliseconds.
Sample Commands with Arguments:
EXE 2 Sets the exposure or transfer pulse delay to 0.127 millisecond.
EXE 8 Sets the exposure or transfer pulse delay to 0.508 millisecond.
EXE 16 Sets the exposure or transfer pulse delay to 1.017 milliseconds.
EXE 158 Sets the exposure or transfer pulse delay to 10.048 milliseconds.
EXE 510 Sets the exposure or transfer pulse delay to 32.436 milliseconds.
EXE 1020 Sets the exposure or transfer pulse delay to 64.872 milliseconds
(15 fps only).
