FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The following are common questions recieved by Lumenera's Technical Assistance Center:
Q. Can the start of the Lm165-IO's exposure be controlled by the hardware trigger line?
A. Yes, but the active high pulse must have a minimum width of 0.5 µs. There is no maximum limit to the trigger pulse width.
Q. What is the approximate sensitivity of the Lu070M?
A. The sensitivity is a function of light wavelength and varies with the lighting wavelength you use. The Lu070M camera uses a CCD sensor that generally offers a higher sensitivity than a CMOS sensor.
