Line Time

The Line Time feature adjusts the time it takes to read images from the camera's internal memory, one line at a time. This feature is particularly useful for slowing down the data transmission. It caters to software applications that may struggle with processing data at high speeds.

To use this feature, start by setting the camera's frame rate to what you need. Then, adjust the line time to the lowest value possible in 150MHz clock cycles. At the camera's highest frame rate, you can't change the line time—it's fixed. But if you lower the frame rate, you can adjust the line time more, giving you better control over how fast data is sent. Simply put, a lower frame rate means more flexibility with line time adjustments.

Note: This feature’s value limits are influenced by other features, such as pixel format, analog-to-digital converter, width, height, and frame rate. So you must recheck the values after adjusting related features.

LineTime node

• Access mode: Read/Write
• Node type: Uint32

You can use the eSDK API functions to:

• get and set the node’s current value, and
• get the node’s minimum and maximum values, and the node’s value increments.
