Finite lighting output period

Extending the idea of the previous section, setting the output count would generate
the lighting with a specific period of time. For example, the PWM period is 10ms, gen-
erating a 100ms duration lighting should the output count be set to 10, so that
10ms*10 = 100ms. The table below is the matrix for reaching different lighting output
duration for given camera frame rates and expected intensity.

Strobe

In strobe applications, the lighting flashes in a short period with maximum intensity. It
uses single PWM period output to reach the maximum lighting intensity in a short
period. In this application, camera frame rate isn't one of the constrains. The low
period could be any number, or kept to the shortest it can be, because the only thing
that affects the application is the high period. The table below lists some examples for
different settings and results.

* Low could be set to any figure, as long as it wouldn't affect the cycle time.
