button. Note: The system will round the display to the nearest least
signifi cant digit displayed. If the display has no decimal places and
you enter 1234.6 the display will show 1235 and the strobe will
fl ash at 1234.6 fl ashes per minute.
3.1.3
Decade Adjustment
The fl ash rate can be adjusted in decade steps eg: 1, 10,
100 etc. by pressing the
button shown right. This
will start a digit on the display blinking. If the knob is
turned this digit will increment or decrement with rollover and roll
under features. Each time the button is pressed the blinking digit
moves one position to the right, the decade decreases by 10 until
the digits stop blinking. Pressing the button again will cause the
left most digit to start blinking.
To exit the decade adjustment mode while a digit is blinking press
any key other than the button.
3.1.4
Multiply or Divide By 2
The strobe fl ash rate can be instantly doubled (x2) or
halved (÷2) by pressing the x2 and ÷2 buttons shown
right. This is useful in determining actual rotational
speed. Refer to the section on speed measurement –
Section 4.0. Note that if doubling or halving the fl ash
rate will cause the strobe to exceed its capability, the
display will show OVER or UNDER respectively and the fl ash
rate will remain at the current fl ash value.
