3.2.1   Flash Duration - Degrees

To view or adjust the flash duration, press the 

BRIGHT

 

button (shown right). The display will show the current 

flash duration in degrees of rotation – note that there 

are 360° in a complete rotation. The degrees shown 

is the amount of rotation visible during the flash. The 

higher  the  degrees,  the  brighter  the  image  and  the 

more apparent the blur. Use the knob to increase or decrease the 

flash  duration  in  degrees  of  rotation.  Adjusting  the  degrees  will 

cause this to be the controlling parameter for pulse width. As the 

flash rate increases or decreases, the strobe will adjust the flash 

duration to keep it at the preset number of degrees provided this 

does not exceed the strobe specifications. Press any key other than 

BRIGHT

  to  exit  or  press 

BRIGHT

  again  to  go  to  MICROSECOND 

adjustment.

3.2.2   Flash Duration - Microseconds

To view or adjust the flash duration in microseconds, 

press the 

BRIGHT

 button again after viewing degrees or 

press the 

BRIGHT

 button twice from normal operation. 

The  display  will  show  the  current  flash  duration  in 

microseconds  (uSECS)  –  this  may  be  calculated  from 

phase  degrees  set  above.  Use  the  knob  to  increase 

or  decrease  the  flash  duration  in  microseconds.  Adjusting  the 

microseconds will cause this to be the controlling parameter for 

pulse width. As the flash rate increases or decreases, the strobe 

will keep the flash duration at the preset width in microseconds 

provided this does not exceed the strobe specifications. Press the 

BRIGHT

 button to exit the flash duration adjustment.
