FAQ: How do I interpret UltraScan Pro Lamp Settings?
Answer:
- LAV/MAV/SAV (Large area of view/Medium Area of View/Small Area of View)
- # Flashes 4 / 5 / 8
- Frequency (Hz) 5/ 5 / 5
- Bursts/Flash 1/ 1 / 2
A Burst is the process that ignites the Xenon gas in the lamp.
A Flash is a pulse of already ignited gas. For the UltraScan Pro for LAV there is one Burst which consists of 4 Flashes. It is difficult for the human eye to visually see the individual flashes, but one can audibly hear a "click" for each flash. In the setting above for LAV the lamp would come on, you would hear 4 clicks and the lamp would go off. In the setting above for SAV the lamp would come on, you would hear 8 clicks and the lamp would go off then the lamp would come on again you would hear 8 clicks and the lamp would go off .
The frequency determines the rate at which the lamp capacitor recharges.
