9
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.
3.3 Display Units
The display can show the flash rate in revolutions per minute
(RPM) or per second (RPS or Hertz). To switch between display
modes press the
DISP
lay button shown right. The display units
will toggle at each press (RPM < > RPS).
3.4 Tachometer Mode
The stroboscope can be used as a programmable pulse generator
or as a tachometer by pressing the
TACH
button shown right.
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 display without flashing
the lamp. The
TACH
icon will show on the display. There is also
an ON TARGET INDICATOR shown right which illuminates
when a valid external signal is received.
If there is no external input and the
TACH
button is pressed
the strobe
will stop flashing
but will still output a pulse at the rate indicated on the
display. This rate may be adjusted as described in Section 3.1 above.
To exit the Tachometer mode press the
TACH
button again.
