Image Readout

The image readout phase begins immediately following the completion of the image exposure time. During image readout, the sensor transfers the acquired image data to the CPU of the ISC-178x.

The image readout duration is primarily dependent upon the image size and the image decimation because these settings directly influence the amount of data that must be transferred. The length of time required for the image readout directly affects the maximum frame rate that can be achieved because only one image can be transferred at a time. There can never be an exposure that ends during the image readout for the previous image. The relationship between the triggering, exposure, and readout of the image is determined by the Trigger Overlap feature.
