    With no external input, the output jack ( pointing away from socket) Red Dots provides a TTL compatible pulse from the strobe’s internal oscillator. If an external input is applied, the output pulse is in sync with the input pulse. This output pulse may be used to trigger a second stroboscope synchronously to illuminate larger areas.
