Timing Parameters and Ext Triggering

The timing tables accompanying each of the triggering diagrams that follow indicate the exposure and cycle times achievable in each triggering mode for the Sona and Marana-11 sCMOS. These are based on Frame and Row Periods as shown below.

Timing Parameters based on Sensor Clock Speed:

	16-bit	12-bit
1 Row	20.52 μs
1 Full Frame(2048 rows)	42.025 ms	21.012 ms

 

Note
Due to the architecture of the sensor in a “Row Time” in 16-bit mode a single row from the sensor can be read, however, in 12-bit 2 rows are read out within this period. The definition of the term Row time used here is because all actions with the sensor are synchronised to this Row time.

In External and External Start Triggering Modes, the minimum trigger pulse width detected by the camera is:
