Camera Interface Details
Mode 1: Pseudo-continuous
§ Frame Rate: Matrox Pulsar receives the continuous video from the
camera at 10 frames per second.
§ Exposure time: Exposure time is controlled by the Remote Panel
software. Refer to the camera manual for more information.
§ Remote Panel software settings: Settings for this mode are as follows:
DEF GAB BKB BKE MDE EXE STP TRM TRS TRE RDM TPD TPW DGN
on -22 0 0 PI 15.096 P P AIA 1 1 255 5 2
Mode 2: Asynchronous Reset (Trigger)
§ Frame rate: The frame rate is determined by the frequency of the
external trigger signal.
§ Exposure time: Exposure time is controlled by the Remote Panel
software. Refer to the camera manual for more information.
§ Remote Panel software settings: Settings for this mode are as follows:
DEF GAB BKB BKE MDE EXE STP TRM TRS TRE RDM TPD TPW DGN
on -22 0 0 TR 15.096 P P AIA 1 1 255 5 2
Mode 2: Asynchronous Reset (Control)
§ Frame rate: The frame rate is determined by the frequency of the
external trigger signal.
§ Exposure time: The width (rising to falling edge) of the EXPOSURE1
(EXPOSE) signal initiates and controls the exposure. The exposure time
can be modified in the DCF using Matrox Intellicam or with the MIL
MdigControl() function. Consult the manual for more information.
