4.4 Tachometer Mode - External Input Required
When an external input is supplied to the unit and the strobe is put in
the Tachometer Mode, the unit will read the signal from the external
input (sensor) and display the reading on the LCD without flashing the
lamp.
The strobe will not flash in the Tachometer Mode.
To enter the External Tachometer Mode:
1.
Plug an external input into the unit.
2.
Press the
ALT FUNCTION
button and then the
TACH
button. The
TACH icon will be displayed.
NOTE: If the external input signal exceeds the maximum flash rate,
the strobe will go into the Tachometer Mode automatically.
To exit the External Tachometer Mode:
1.
Press the
ALT FUNCTION
button and then the
TACH
button. The
TACH icon will go away.
2.
The unit will remain in the External Input Mode unless the INPUT
button is pressed to change the mode.
4.5 External Delay Modes (Phase Shifting)
There are three
External Delay Modes: Phase Delay, Time Delay,
and
Auto (Virtual RPM)
. In the
External Phase Delay Mode
, the flash is
triggered 0.1 to 359.9 degrees after each external signal pulse. The knob
sets the amount of delay in degrees. In the
External Time Delay Mode
,
the flash is triggered 0.01 to 1000 milliseconds after each external
signal pulse. The knob sets the amount of delay in milliseconds. In the
Auto (Virtual RPM) Mode
, the flash is triggered by increasing amounts
after the external trigger pulse so that the image will appear to rotate
at a given (virtual) RPM or RPS. The knob sets this virtual RPM or RPS.
