Strobe Unit Connections
Each strobe unit connects to the front of the MX Camera via a 6-pin
Lemo connector (for details on this connection, see Chapter 11 MX
Cables). Each strobe unit is mounted on two rods that pass through
the body of the camera. The rods are fixed in position in the camera
body with a thumbscrew on either side.
Strobe Unit Status Indicators
The status lights on the lower right of the strobe unit front panel

Vicon software on the host PC.
The following sections describe the standard functionality for all Vicon
application software and the functionality specific to particular
applications.
