This parameter is expressed in microseconds (10-6 s).

For area-scan cameras, the Expose_us parameter relates to the duration of the frame exposure period.

For line-scan cameras, the Expose_us parameter relates to the duration of the line exposure period.

Specifically, several controllable cameras make possible for the frame grabber to take control on the exposure period within the camera. This equally applies to the line exposure (line-scan) or frame exposure (area-scan). If an area-scan camera has this exposure control capability, and if it is configured in such a way that this capability is exercised, the camera is said to assume the grabber-controlled exposure mode.

This parameter applies only when camera operates in grabber-controlled exposure mode.
