point grey fl3-ge : image acquisition timer intervals
Show older comments
Hi, I have a point grey fl3-ge gige ccd camera. I configure the TimerFcn callback for triggering 1 frame at every 50ms. The shutter exposure is 20ms. After retrieving the frames, I see a non fixed time interval between successive frames as shown in the histogram bellow. Its centered mainly at .0435 and there is a secondary peak at .0870.

Why its not 100% centered at 0.05? Any ideas?
Thanks, Gabriel
