E2V CCD#8 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, 400, and 800 Kpixels/sec.

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 + 24.5 sec readout time) x 5 exposures = 174.5 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 + 24.5 sec readout time) x 5 exposures = 182.5 sec
