This parameter is expressed in Hertz (s-1).

It applies when the motion encoder is in use with rate conversion. Refer to the MultiCam User Guide.

The MaxSpeed parameter declares the maximum speed at which the line-scan system will be used, that is the upper limit of the rate converter operating range.

The downweb line rate has been chosen as a measurement of the system operating speed.

After programming the rate converter, this parameter is automatically set to the highest possible downweb line rate.

If desired, the parameter can be set to a lower value to reflect the actual maximum operating speed.

When LineCaptureMode=ADR, the highest possible downweb line rate can exceed the highest possible camera rate.

When LineCaptureMode=PICK or ALL, the highest possible downweb line rate is determined by the highest possible camera line rate, as indicated by LineRate_Hz.

The lower limit of the rate converter operating range is returned by the get-only MinSpeed parameter.
