Operating Manual
Duration (Charge Delay): When the Charge Delay is OFF, the duration window associated with the
charge delay is not selectable and can not be adjusted. A value of 0ms is displayed in the Duration
window. With the Charge Delay is ON, this window will display any previously set charge delay since
power-up. Selecting this window allows the duration of the charge delay to be adjusted using the
Rotary Control Knob between 1ms and 10000ms in 1ms increments. The default duration on power-up
is 0ms.
Charge Delay Operation: When incrementing the charge delay duration, the 'Wait Time' will
automatically be adjusted if required. The charge delay duration is included as part of the overall wait
time (this is shown graphically in brackets underneath the wait time).
The charge delay becomes active after the last pulse of a pulse train. After the last pulse, the system
will not begin re-charging until the specified charge delay duration has elapsed. Any attempt to trigger
the system during this charge delay period will be ignored.
