ScanZyklus
ScanZyklus is a term used in German-language technical documentation to describe the repeating sequence that drives data acquisition in scanning systems. A typical ScanZyklus includes initiating the cycle, triggering or synchronizing with a source, integrating data for a defined dwell time, reading out and buffering the result, and preparing for the next cycle. Depending on the device, a cycle may start from an external trigger or an internal clock and may be synchronized with motion or another subsystem.
The ScanZyklus determines sampling density and speed. Key parameters include frame or line rate, dwell time,
Applications span medical imaging (such as CT and MRI, which rely on repeated acquisition and readout), optical
Because definitions of a ScanZyklus vary by device and vendor, manuals describe it in terms of cycle
