Evaluating the Operating Range

The three ways able to represent the speed performance are the web speed, the encoder frequency, the line frequency.

Evaluate the line frequency for a known web speed with the following formula:

The line frequency and the encoder frequency are linked together with:

To have an example, consider a line-scan camera that can generate a top line frequency of 17,000 Hz.

For the sake of security, we will impose a larger maximum frequency of 15,000 Hz.

The operating range with this camera is described below.

 

The minimum line frequency and encoder frequency figures are returned by the MultiCam driver. The operating range is always above 200.
