Pixel Dwell & Frame Rate calculator

Dwell time and frame rate from line rate & resolution.

Category: Scanning

Formula: tdwell = 1/(fline·Nx) · fframe = fline/Ny (Hz)

Inputs

InputParameterUnitDefault
Line rateflineHz8000
Pixels/lineNx512
Lines/frameNy512

Result with the default inputs

  • Dwell time: 0.2441 µs
  • Frame rate: 15.625 Hz

Open it with your own values: put each input in the address as a parameter, for example /calculators/pixel-dwell-frame-rate?fline=8000. A unit other than the listed one goes in <parameter>_unit.
