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.
