1.0 DESCRIPTION
The PALM STROBE x is a sophisticated stroboscope with many features,
yet remains simple to operate. It is a pocket-size, lightweight, industrial
strength, single-handed operation instrument that fits in the palm of your
hand. A four-quadrant Tuner Button adjusts the flash rate, and provides
multiply/divide by 2 functions. A large, bright, backlit, 6-digit alphanumeric
LCD shows the flash rate and mode of operation. The strobe can store and
recall eight programmable flash rate settings and the last used setting in
nonvolatile memory, so that the unit “remembers” all the flash rates when
the power is turned off.
The strobe has a removable, rechargeable battery pack which provides up
to 2 hours of continuous use depending on the flash rate. This battery pack
clips in and out with no tools required. An optional second battery pack
allows for longer operation in the field. A ¼-20 UNC thread bushing on the
underside of the strobe allows for tripod mounting. The strobe locks “ON”
for hands-free operation.
The Input/Output phone jack will accept an external input up to the
maximum FPM and can be used with an external Self-Powered Sensor to
measure RPM. The Input/Output phone jack will also provide TTL output
pulses for each flash.
