Operational Mode is determined on startup or when a new lighthead is attached, rotary

switches are active during operation

Switch Settings: 0 - Down or Closed, 1 - Up or Open

EE - Internal Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) used to store

Pulsar configuration information

PC - Remote computer attached to Pulsar via USB interface

Reserved locations available for future operation modes

Only one of the four possible trigger inputs can be selected.

Notes:

3. Percentage Mode: The operator can select between constant and

gated DC modes. The rotary switches will control the current as a

percentage of the maximum current that Signatech II calculates for

the light head. 100% is the maximum setting.

a. 1’s switch = 1%

b. 10’s switch = 10%

c. 100’s switch = 100%

4. Timing Bypass Mode: This is another variation of the pulse mode,

where the operator can select between rising and falling edge trigger

signals. The rotary switches will control the current up to a maximum

of 9.99A per channel.

a. 1’s switch = 10mA

b. 10’s switch = 100mA

c. 100’s switch = 1A

Note: Signatech I and II will protect light heads from being over driven.

Therefore when maximum values of pulse width and/or current are

reached, rotation of the switches beyond these values does not result

in increased output.

4.6 External Trigger Interface

The Pulsar 710 can accept up to 4 single ended TTL/CMOS input triggers,

or 1 differential RS232/485 logic level input trigger. The differential trigger

would typically be used when excessive noise and EMI could be present in

devices can be triggered from one trigger signal. Ai recommends using

connectors on the front panel of the Pulsar 710 as shipped from the
