# Set exposure time

Note The exposure time must be smaller than the Acquisition Line Time plus an offset.  
The minimum difference between the Acquisition Line Time and the Exposure Time is camera variant specific. Therefore, query the min and max entries of this feature. 

In the Configuration window navigate to *Acquisition Control* → *Exposure*.
