1. FEATURES
* When the speed of the moving

the stroboscope, the moving
object appears still. The unit can
give the operator the illusion of
's t o p p e d m o t i o n ' w h e r e i n
actuality the equipment under
observation is in a moving state.
By adjusting the flashing rate,
equipment in motion appears to
be standing still. With a slight
adjustment, movement can be
viewed in apparent slow motion.
Which enables the observer or
the operator to study the process
in action.
* Wide measuring range & high
resolution.
* Digital display gives exact
reading with no guessing or
errors.
* Flash timer control conserves flash
tube life.
* External trigger allows unit to be
automatically
* Strong flash light at low range and
