Example: Stingray F-033

register value x time base = exposure time

100 x 20 µs + 27 µs = 2027 µs exposure time

The minimum adjustable exposure time set by register is 4 µs.  The real
minimum exposure time of Stingray F-033 is then:

4 µs + 27 µs = 31 µs

Extended shutter

The exposure time for long-term integration of up to 67 seconds can be
extended via the advanced register: EXTENDED_SHUTTER

The longest exposure time, 3FFFFFFh, corresponds to 67.11 sec.

The lowest possible value of ExpTime is camera-specific (see

Table 66: Cam-

era-specific minimum exposure time

on page 194).
