Abstract
A photosensor chip, such as used in a hard-copy scanner, reads out image data in repeated cycles. With each cycle an on-board counter counts to a predetermined number and resets to zero. When the clock count reaches certain numbers, integration events are initiated with regard to different subsets of photosensors on the chip. The start and stop times of the integrations within each cycle can thus be adjusted via software instructions.
