[Preliminary] ATMOS -1M60/1M30
If shutter time is set to > 0:
Readout is suspended between two consecutive frame readout and shutter output signal is acti-
vated (programmable polarity) for a time configurable within 0 to Tsh range by step of T1.

The maximum frame rate of 48 frame/s for the 1M60 camera (or 24 frame/s for the 1M30 cam-
era) is given in this mode with a shutter time set to 0.
See register Aperture Shutter Time @ 246H, Internal Register Mapping on page 17.
Triggered Mode
Principle: An external trigger starts the reset of the sensor, then snap and readout of a frame,
the integration time is defined by readout time (+ programmable shutter time, when used).
The trigger event initiates the following sequence:
• Stop of readout frame in progress and reset of readout pointer to line 1
• Readout of previous dummy frame and integration start of the frame N. The readout data of
previous frame is not forwarded on CameraLink interface (FVAL inactive)
• Shutter output signal is activated during a time programmable within 0 to Tsh range by step
of T1
• Readout of frame N. The readout data is forwarded to the CameraLink interface (FVAL
active) starting with the first line
• Readout of dummy frames (to prevent against large dark current integration) while the
camera waits for the next trigger event
