In line scan cameras, the encoder line divider measurement feature gets the measured period of the line trigger pulses at the output of the divider set by the encoder line divider. This measurement helps determine the appropriate value of the encoder timeout.
The measured time interval is reported in cycles of the camera’s timestamp clock, not in microseconds. The frequency of this clock is determined by the GEV Timestamp Tick Frequency, which varies by camera model. For example:
To convert the reported value to seconds, divide it by the value of GEV Timestamp Tick Frequency. For example, a measured interval of 3,000,000 cycles represents 20 ms on a 150 MHz clock.

You can use the eSDK API functions to get the node’s current value.
