Pulse-width modulation
The 2 inputs and 4 outputs are independent. Each output has pulse-width mod-
ulation (PWM) capabilities, which can be used (with additional external elec-
tronics) for motorized speed control or autofocus control.
Period (in μs) and pulse width (in μs) are adjustable via the following registers
(see also examples in Chapter
PWM: Examples in practice on page 127):
To enable the PWM feature select output mode 0x09. Control the signal state via
the PulseWidth and Period fields (all times in microseconds (μs)).
Note

• Note that trigger delay in fact delays the image capture
whereas the IntEna_Delay only delays the leading edge
of the IntEna output signal but does not delay the image
capture.
• As mentioned before, it is possible to set the outputs by
software. Doing so, the achievable maximum frequency is
strongly dependent on individual software capabilities.
As a rule of thumb, the camera itself will limit the toggle
frequency to not more than 700 Hz.
