Specifications and Measurements
  • The sensor operates at 20°C as supplied by the manufacturer.
  • Dark current is measured as a median over the sensor area, excluding blemishes.
  • Linearity is assessed using a Signal vs. Exposure Time plot, following the EMVA 1288 standard.
  • Software Exposure Events notify the start and end of acquisition for synchronization with peripheral devices.
  • 'Global Clear' is an optional mechanism in rolling shutter mode to purge charge from all sensor rows simultaneously at exposure start, simulating Global Exposure.
  • ZL41 Cell USB 3.0 models are compatible with modern USB 3.0 enabled PCs and come with a USB 3.0 PCI card for older PCs.
  • The maximum frames per second table indicates the device's image acquisition speed in standard systems for both rolling and global shutter read modes.
