Abstract
The present invention implements an automated blank time function, which calculates a horizontal and/or a vertical blank time for a desired integration time and window size. Input data and control signals for predetermined integration time and window size are provided to a register interface, which generates configuration signals. The configuration signals are applied to machines, which generate reset control signals and read control signals from the configuration signals for controlling the imager.
Claims29
A method of controlling an imager by automatically setting vertical and/or horizontal blank times for a selected integration time and window size comprising:
- providing input data and control signals for predetermined integration time and window size for autoblank mode;
- generating configuration signals from the input signals;
- and
- generating reset control signals and read control signals from the configuration signals for controlling the imager.
Apparatus for controlling an imager by automatically setting vertical and/or horizontal blank times for a selected integration time and window size comprising:
- interface means for receiving input data and control signals for a predetermined integration time and window size, the interface means including means for generating configuration signals from the input signals;
- and
- means for generating reset control signals and read control signals from the configuration signals for controlling the imager.
A computer readable memory element storing the instructions or statements for use in the execution in a computer of a method for controlling an imager by automatically setting vertical and/or horizontal blank times for a selected integration time and window size comprising:
- providing input data and control signals for predetermined integration time and window size for autoblank mode;
- generating configuration signals from the input signals;
- and
- generating reset control signals and read control signals from the configuration signals for controlling the imager.
