2.3.2 Indication of low battery voltage If the remaining battery power drops to near zero, the number display alternates between the process setting and LLLLLL. However, operation can be performed even when the battery is in this low condition. If the remaining battery power decreases further, the number display indicates only LLLLLL, which then stops operation.

4.3.4 Emission count mode The emission count (frequency) can be set in the emission count mode (FPM). 4.3.4.1 Emission count setting Turn the dial to the CW direction to increase the emission count (frequency), and to the CCW direction to decrease it. Turn the dial fast to change the setting value greatly and slowly to change it slightly.
4.3.4.2 Changing the emission count (frequency) to double or half The emission count (frequency) can be changed to double or half of the current setting value using the key operation on internal oscillation emission. 1) To change the emission count (frequency) to double of the current setting value Each press of the x2 key changes the emission count (frequency) to double of the current setting value on internal oscillation emission.
4.3.5 Emission duration mode The emission time (ratio) can be set by 0.1º within the range between 0.1º/ 360º and 3.6º/ 360º in the emission duration mode (DUR). The emission time setting value shows the strobe emitting time by angle while a rotating object rotates one revolution (360º). *The maximum value for the emission duration is 400 μs.
4.3.6 Phase mode When the rotation (motion) cycle of a measured object matches with the strobe flash cycle, the measured object appears to stand still. To change the angle (position) to make the object stand still, use the phase mode. The phase can be changed by 1º using the dial within the range between 1º and 359º in the phase mode (PHA).
4.4 External synchronous emission External synchronous emission is the function to emit a strobe flash in synchronization with an external pulse. •To activate external synchronous emission mode, refer to 4.2 Emission setting. •The selection can be made whether the emission is triggered based on the rising edge of the external pulse or the falling edge. Refer to 4.6.3 Trigger edge setting. •Timing (delay) from the external pulse entry to strobe flash emission can be optionally set. 4.4.1 Emission count mode M easur ement v al ue of the emission count ( f r eq uency ) M ode disp l ay I ndicates the memor y...
4.4.2 Emission duration mode The emission time (ratio) can be set by 0.1º within the range between 0.1º/ 360º and 3.6º/ 360º in the emission duration mode (DUR). (The emission time setting value shows the strobe emitting time by angle while a rotating object rotates one revolution (360º).) *The maximum value for the emission duration is 400 μs.
4.4.3 Phase mode Delay emission can be set within the input signal range between 60 fpm and 10,000 fpm. In the phase mode (PHA), the delay angle from the external pulse entry to strobe flash emission can be changed by 1º using the dial within the range between 1º and 359º. Press the UNIT key to set the phase change by time. The phase can be changed by 1 ms within the range between 0 ms and 999 ms (max.).
4.4.3.1 How to set the delay The delay angle from the pulse input to emission can be set by 1º within the range between 1º and 359º by setting one cycle of the external pulse to 360º. Measure the external pulse frequency per cycle, and calculate the delay angle based on the measured frequency to perform the delay emission. Since a delay of approximately 30 μs always exists for the internal calculation, the actual delay time is calculated as follows:...
