E2V CCD#14 Read out times:
The table below contain readout times for different setups and readout speeds of the CCD.
The four readout speeds offered are: 200 (default), 100 and 400 (800 Kpixels/sec, not yet available).
Note : For every command you issue (exp, mexp) add an additional overhead of 2 seconds.
Note : One pixel corresponds to about 0.19 arcsec.
Examples : Total time spent for a full frame, bin 1x1, mexp 10 5 command at 200 Kpix/sec readout speed:
2 sec overhead for mexp command + (10 sec integration + 24.3 sec readout time) x 5 exposures = 173.5 sec
Total time spent for a full frame, bin 1x1, 5 times exp 10 command at 200 Kpix/sec readout speed:
(2 sec overhead for exp command + 10 sec integration + 24.3 sec readout time) x 5 exposures = 181.5 sec
