One-shot command on the bus to start of
exposure
The following sections describe the time response of the camera using a sin-
gle frame (one-shot) command. As set out in the IIDC specification, this is
a software command that causes the camera to record and transmit a single
frame.
The following values apply only when the camera is idle and ready for use.
Full resolution must also be set.
Microcontroller-Sync is an internal signal. It is generated by the microcon-
troller to initiate a trigger. This can either be a direct trigger or a release for
ExSync if the camera is externally triggered.
End of exposure to first packet on the bus
After the exposure, the CCD or CMOS sensor is read out; some data is written
into a small FIFO buffer before being transmitted to the bus.
The time from the end of exposure to the start of transport on the bus is:
500 µs ± 62.5 µs
This time 'jitters' with the cycle time of the bus (125 µs).
