All Strobe Controllers can be operated in different
Running Modes
, supporting pulsed and
continuous DC current output.

– Running Modes
In pulse-controlled output modes, a Strobe Controller generates electrical impulses on the
output. The output pulses in this mode can be triggered by an external, internal or software
generated trigger source. These modes are intended for pulsing and over-driving of LED light
heads.
In DC controlled output modes, the Strobe Controller operates as a DC current source intended
for continuous currents on the output. Corresponding running modes are the
Continuous
and
External Switch
mode.
Note (IPSC-Series):
When the device reacts on one of the trigger signals, or currently drives
an LED output, all further incoming triggers are ignored. The trigger signals are only processed
sequentially and thus it is not possible to operate several channels asynchronously to each
other. For asynchronous application, please use one of our HPSC devices.
