Set A Stroboscope

The flash rate can be adjusted on the Stroboscope to change the flash speed.


A stoboscope is often used in photography as a flash to create the perfect lighting in any studio setting. The stroboscope uses a xenon flash tube to project a bright flash of light at adjustable intervals. Stroboscopes are also configured to react to a remote trigger to flash at the same time your camera takes a photograph. Strobe lights can also are used as stage or theater lights to emulate lightning or electrical outbursts.


Instructions


1. Set up the stroboscope by plugging its power cord into an electrical outlet and connecting the other end of the cord into the power cord receptacle, located in the front panel of the unit. Flip the power switch down to the "On" position.


2. Set the flash rate by rotating the flash rate adjustment knob to the left to speed up the flash or to the right to slow it down.


3. Choose the flash interval rate by selecting the type of flash measurement. Set the switch to measure in revolutions per minute, flashes per second or the use of an external trigger. Align the switch with your desired measurement setting. If an external trigger is being used, plug in the trigger into the receptacle labeled "Ext. Trigger". Set the switch to the "Ext. Trig." setting to allow your stroboscope to be controlled by a remote device or to react simultaneously with another strobe.
