can use
StrobeReference
and
StrobeDelay
settings to position the strobe to occur earlier that the
exposure. To configure the strobe, follow the steps below:
1.
Make sure that
TriggerMode
is
On
and
TriggerDelay
is set to a desired value in the
Acquisition Control menu.
The Exposure starts with the delay after the trigger event
.
2.
Set
StrobeReference
to
Trigger
. The strobe occurs simultaneously with the trigger active
edge.
3.
Set
StrobeDelay
to a value lower than the
TriggerDelay
duration.

Set
StrobeWidth
to a desired value.
