Asynchronous Trigger Mode of the JAI M10 BX

Question

What is the difference between H-​reset and H-​Non-Reset of triggering asynchronously the JAI M10 BX?

Answer

The JAI M10 BX features two external asynchronous trigger modes: Edge Pre-​Select and Pulse Width Control. Both modes may be used in either H-​Reset or H-​Non-Reset mode, which are slightly different:1. H-​Reset Mode:In H-​Reset Mode the internal HD is being reset with the falling edge of the trigger pulse; after that, exposure starts without further delay. 2. H-​Non-Reset:Exposure does not start immediately, but is latched to the HD pulse following the falling edge of the trigger pulse. Therefore the exposure start may have a delay of up to one HD (64µs) relative to the trigger pulse. Additionally, in Pulse Width Control mode the actual exposure time may vary by up to 1 HD, which, however, is hardly noticed if the exposure time is significantly longer than 1 HD.The JAI M10 BX up to Rev. D only supports HReset, wherease Rev. F features both modes.
