Memory Store & Recall
Memory Functions
Press
STORE
to save up to 19 flash rates. When
STORE
is pressed the
memory location number in the upper right corner of the display and the
value flashes to confirm storage. Data is saved to the next available memory
location until 19 values are stored and no more data can be saved.
Press
RECALL
to cycle through stored measurements. The memory
location numbers appear in the upper right corner of the display.
Referencing Memory to Physical Locations
To reference your tests to specific memory locations, first activate the
required number of locations by storing data (any value) in them. Then
press
RECALL
until the memory location number appears, adjust the
flash rate and press
STORE
to overwrite the current value.
Using this method, numbered machinery or processes may be referenced
to corresponding memory location numbers and recalled for quick
retests so only fine adjustments to the flash rate are necessary.
Clear Memory
With power on, simultaneously press
STORE
and
RECALL
for a minimum of four seconds. The display will
show a row of dashes and all memory locations will be
erased. To erase an individual memory press
RECALL
to
select a specific memory location, adjust the flash rate, then press
STORE
.
Power Management
After your stroboscope is set to a constant flash rate, the
instrument will automatically power off after two minutes.
Press any key except
POWER
to extend the operating time
another two minutes.
To disable power management, turn off the unit, then press
and hold
STORE
while pressing
POWER
. The Power
icon flashes during normal operation and remains steady
when power management is off.

When the strobe receives an input signal, the External
Trigger icon flashes at the bottom left of the display. The
strobe’s flash rate corresponds to the frequency of the
input signal. The display will indicate this rate in flashes
per minute. To disable External Trigger Mode, turn off the
strobe and remove the input plug.
To synchronize two ESL-20 stroboscopes, connect one ESL-20 output
port to the other strobe's input port (this one will be the slave).

Digital Phase Shift
The input signal’s cycle is 360°. Alternatively, the delayed angle of the
input cycle can be viewed and displayed by adjusting the > and < keys.
The range of this adjustment (phase shift) is 0 to 359°. Three seconds
after the phase angle is set the display will return to flashes per minute,
while maintaining the phase shift setting. When the instrument is
switched off, the phase shift setting is reset to zero.
