Below are current conservative estimates of exposure times for the UV channels based on a HRTS spectrum covering active regions and quiet Sun.
Estimated exposure rates (electrons/pixel/second).

Note: The estimates for Lyman alpha are as yet very uncertain.
Estimates by Brian Handy, 24 April 1997.
Estimates based on relative sensitivities of TRACE and EIT in plots below, for temperatures around the peak sensitivity for the bandpass, using factors of 5x, 4x, 0.2x2.5x, 3.5x, and 0.2x for 171, 195, and 284A, respectively.
