Timing Modes

In WinView and WinSpec, the timing modes available in the Acquisition|Experiment
Setup...|Timing tab are different from those in standard intensified systems. The
available timing modes are:
Single Trig. Mode: two shot, one trigger for both shots.
Dual Trig. Mode: two shot, each shot requires a trigger.
The trigger(s) can be generated by an external source connected to the PI-MAX3 or the
PI-MAX3 can generate the trigger(s) internally.

Setup

Hardware

Software

For the purposes of this setup, it is assumed that you are using either WinView or
WinSpec to control the system.

Operation

The operation of the PI-MAX3 in DIF mode is similar to the standard operation of a
PI-MAX3 with SuperSYNCHRO. There are only a few differences due to the special
timing modes of DIF, and they will be outlined here. Because there are two timing modes
in DIF operation, there are two procedures for setting up the experiment.
