What does the PRIN setting in MAX mean for my Dalsa CL-C8-6000A Camera?

[Raji]

I am using PCI-1424 with Dalsa CL-C8-6000A Camera. The
integration setting in MAX allows me to set the integration time using PRIN. But what does the number mean? How do you I convert it to time units (seconds,say)?

[Jack_A.]

Dalsa uses the PRIN line to control its integration time based on the pixel clock of the camera. So to convert PRIN to time units, you first need to do know the frame rate you will be working at. This will allow you to then calculate the pixel clock and thusly the amount of time for say 1000 pixel clocks.
One consequence of this is that as you change your frame rate, your integration time will also change (since your pixel clock is now faster or slower).
