synchronization
circuit
As an example, the Analog output pulse signal could be used to synchronize
emission with a subject under study using a sampling sensor. A general diagram
of a synchronization circuit is shown in Figure 56.
Figure 56 Example Pulse Circuit
Synchronization signaling - single pulse vs. burst mode
Figures 57 and 58 demonstrate how a subject can be imaged when illuminated
with either a single pulse or a burst of pulses. In each case, a camera shutter is
synchronized to triggers from the Analog pulse output that is driven by the COAX
trig input signal initiating emission. Subsequent to the Analog pulse output
trigger, the shutter opens, and the camera captures the subject image.
