2.1 Power
PALM STROBE x has a removable Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery
Pack that clips in and out of the main strobe housing. The Battery
Pack should be charged before use (see
). The strobe has a
protection feature that prevents the strobe from operating if the battery
voltage is low. This condition is indicated by no flash and the Low Battery
icon (
) will be displayed (see
). At this time, the battery
pack must be recharged or exchanged for a fully charged battery pack.
The actual operating time of the stroboscope depends on the flash rate
and duty cycle of operation. Slower flash rates increase the operating
time.
2.2 Input/Output Connections
PALM STROBE x has a TTL Input/Output phone jack on the side of
the stroboscope. This jack accepts a 1/8 inch [3.5 mm] stereo phone
plug and can be used for external triggering or synchronization of the
stroboscope or for providing a TTL pulse output, synchronous with the
flash.
The jack’s outer connection (barrel) is common, the inner or center
connection is the signal, and the tip is the pulse output (see Figure 3).
The input and output are TTL compatible.
