The maximum value of the
shutter is dependent upon the
frame rate and clock frequency.
The formula for the maximum
shutter value is:
Max shutter value = clock freq – 2816
frame rate
For a clock frequency of 18 MHz,
the following table shows the
maximum shutter value. 1 clock
cycle is 55.56 nsec.

* Note: To optimize tracking performance on dark surfaces, it is recommended that an adaptive frame rate based on shutter value
be implemented for frame rates greater than 1500.

*Note: To optimize tracking performance on dark surfaces, it is recommended that an adaptive frame rate based on shutter value
be implemented for frame rates greater than 1500.
Changing the frame rate results in
changes in the maximum speed,
acceleration limits, and dark
surface performance.
