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-6 sCMOS. These are based on Frame and Row Periods as shown below.

Timing Parameters based on Sensor Clock Speed:

  16-bit 12-bit 11-bit
1 Row 6.6 μs 11.2 μs 7.2 μs
1 Full Frame(2046 rows) 13.5 ms 22.9 ms 7.4 ms

 

Note

A single row can be read in 16-bit mode.

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