15. To change the frequency of the strobe light to another peak, or to
fine-tune the frequency, select another spectral peak on the graph
using the cursor keys — The strobe light frequency will change to
match the new peak's frequency > Cycle through each spectral peak
to identify the components generating vibrations at each frequency.
NOTE: Clearing the cursors (ALT then ) will NOT disable the
strobe cursor. To cancel the cursor you must exit the spectrum
measurement screen.
Read Speed of Connected Strobe
To read the speed of a connected strobe:
1. Connect the LEMO-to-strobe cable's LEMO plug to your instrument's
tachometer socket.
2. Connect the black Read 3.5 mm to the strobe lamp's output socket
— Ensure the Drive plug is disconnected and the strobe is set to
Positive Signal Mode (POS) if required by the strobe model.
3. Activate the strobe lamp and adjust the output rate as required.
NOTE: The strobe frequency must be kept below 140 Hz, 8400
CPM.
4. Press Measure > Press Tach.
5. Press Tach Type repeatedly to set the tachometer to Standard
— The current frequency of the strobe light will display.
