DATA SHEET O PHRNTDm when it’s too fast to see, and too important not to.* • PIV features: Particle Image Velocimetry and similar measurement techniques like Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV), Laser Induced Florescence (LIF), and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) require extremely accurate timing and the ability to take images in a very stable and predictable way. The straddle time on the v2512 is 375ns, on the v2012 is 400ns, on the v1612 is 425ns, and on the v1212 is 550ns. • Burst Mode: Many experiments require taking images at precisely the same time during the experiment. Burst mode triggers...
