Strobing and Triggering
Isolated Digital IO
 
System Functions  
It can be configured to provide constant or pulsed output, with control over the
delay, intensity and duration. Configuration is very generalised to allow a vast range of real time operations to be set up to run off digital input triggers.

Configurations can be saved in non-volatile memory so that the PP100 will run standalone. Configuration can be performed using a straightforward setup program running on a PC, using an RS232 connection.

Applications include lighting systems requiring brightness changes, easy and repeatable set up of lighting levels, strobe control of lighting and synchronising lighting switching to camera syncs.


Four modes of operation are provided:
Static: Outputs are constant or pulsed and can be controlled externally using the serial port.
Triggered: Each of eight triggers can cause a different sequence of outputs.
Programmed: One trigger causes one of eight sequences of operations, selected by digital input.
Sequenced: Up to eight sequences of operations are set up to be executed in rotation, one per trigger.
