Subject: XSPRESS3 / InternalTrigger / AcquireTime

All,

FYI.

I noticed that on the xspress3 with internal trigger selected the AcquireTime rolls over for times greater than ~ 53 seconds.

The ADC sample time is 12.5 nS.  It appears the AcquireTime is converted to a 32-bit integer of ADC samples.  12.5nS * 2^32 = 53.7 seconds.

Setting an AcquireTime of 60 seconds generates an exposure of ~ 7 seconds.

Apologies if this is reported elsewhere and I missed it.
