Monarch Nova-Strobe PBX Phase Shifting Portable Stroboscope
The Nova-Strobe™ pbx Phase-Shifting Xenon Stroboscope with NIST is an extremely sophisticated instrument with many features, yet remains simple to operate. With an operating range of 30 to 50,000 flashes per minute, the Phaser Strobe allows for internal phase delay/jog and three (3) external delay modes (phase-shifting). The pbx also has the ability to run for up to 2 hours with the internal rechargeable batteries or continuously with the AC power supply/charger (PSC-pbxU) provided. The velocity-sensitive adjustment knob allows for coarse and fine flash rate adjustments quickly and easily with significantly better resolution than competitive units.
Purchase individually or in kit form which ships in a deluxe carry case with foam inserts and a spare flashtube (lamp). NIST Traceable Certificate included.
