The values of Exposure and EDR, (Extreme
Dynamic Range), will be specified in
microseconds. The maximum value of the
Exposure Time depends on the period of the
images, that is 1/Sample Rate value. The
EDR maximum value is equal to the defined
Exposure value.
The PTF, (Post Trigger Frames), value is the
number of frames, after a trigger signal has
been detected by, the selected Phantom
camera continues to capture before the
recording process stops. The maximum value
of Post Trigger Frames in the drop down list
depends on the resolution and bit depth set,
and on the memory capacity. If PTF value is
set to the maximum value in the list, all
images in camera’s memory will be post
trigger frames.
