While acquiring imge by trigger input, there is significant delay between trigger input and image acquisition.
Updated:
Tag:

There is different delay time between trigger input and start exposing is based on type of trigger input port (Opto-isolated input port or Open Collector input).
We recommend to use Open Collector input for trigger input to reduce delay time.

How can I set exposure time on StViewer?
Updated:
Tag:

The camera has two exposure modes
OFF: Exposure time is “1 / frame rate setting (second)”, which is longest exposure time to maintain set frame rate.
The exposure time is changed based on frame rate.
Timed: Exposure time specifies by exposure time setting.
Please uses “Timed” exposure mode to specify exposure time manually.

The exposure time can be set by below step.
Exposure time sets manually:
1. Selects “Timed” at “ExposureMode” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”.
2. Sets exposure time at “ExposureTime” under AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”.

Exposure time specifies by frame rate (exposure time is “1 / frame rate (second)”):
1. Selects “OFF” at “ExposureMode” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”.

The frame rate dose not increase even reduce resolution by ROI function on StViewer.
Updated:
Tag:

It is possible to not increase frame rate depending on frame rate setting or exposure time setting.
The exposure time setting has to be set less than “1 / frame rate setting” (second).

Please check below settings to increase frame rata.
1. It is necessary to do NOT acquire image.
2. Sets target frame rate at “AcquisitionFrameRate” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”
3. Selects “OFF” at “ExposureAuto” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice” to disabled auto exposure function.
    Selects “OFF” or “Timed” at “ExposureMode” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice”
    Sets exposure time that is less than “1 / framer rate setting” at “ExposureTime” under “AcquisitionControl” under “RemoteDevice” when selecting “Timed”.
4. Please check frame rate after acquiring image.
