NOTE:
If doubling or halving the flash rate causes the strobe to
exceed its range, the display flash rate will remain at the current
flash value.
4.1.4 External Input
Whenever an external source (sensor, signal generator or another
strobe) is plugged into the input jack (
pointing towards jack)
and the unit is in Strobe Mode, the signal from the external source
becomes the source of trigger for the flash. The user cannot make
any flash rate adjustments and the display will show the rate of
the external input.
External icon will show in display when there is an
external sensor plugged into the strobe.
Activating the trigger with a valid external input will cause the
strobe to flash. If the external input is an optical sensor, activating
the trigger will power the sensor. Aim the sensor at the target.
Once the strobe has detected the target via the sensor on the
rotating or reciprocating machine, the strobe will flash each time a
signal is received allowing the user to virtually “stop motion”. The
speed read by the external sensor will be shown in the selected
units on the display. The strobe can be configured to trigger on the
positive or negative edge of the incoming pulse (MENU-MISC).
