5.4.2.1
Application example
You want to view a rotating object with external triggering.
The viewing area or the mark of the rotating object is outside or not perfectly within your field of
view. With the phase shift / delay of the flash triggering, you can let the field of view / the marking
move optically around the axis of rotation to the ideal position.
5.5
Synchronised output / trigger output
The output signal is output via the "Ext. triggering / signal output" socket.
5.6
Movement analysis
•
Set the stroboscope ideally as described in chapter 5.3.
•
Now slowly press the "+ / - rotary switch". This triggers a slow motion effect that allows
you to view the movement more closely.
