Re: [micro-manager-general] Questions on Hamamatsu Flash4

Hi Thomas,

That property is present with the ORCA 2ER camera (and possibly other 
CCDs).  I don't think that it has any bearing on the Flash 4.

> - trying to acquire fast stacks I realised that I can’t even acquire fast time series… Compared to the live mode rate (very fast >10hz for full frames), running a MDA with 30ms exposure and 35ms delay results in longer illumination (almost 1/2 s by eyes) and hence longer delays. Where does this difference come from? is there a simple workaround?
That sounds bad (and like a bug in the device adapter/driver).  If short 
exposures are important to you it is always good to use hardware 
synchronization (see http://www.jbmethods.org/jbm/article/view/36/29 and 
https://micro-manager.org/wiki/Hardware-based_synchronization).

Best,
