CUSP-01
CONTROL UNIT FOR SHOOTING PROGRAM
1. APPLICATION
The CUSP-01 unit is a multifunctional hardware-software complex intended for:
- formation of a shooting program (start) of a set of 8 image-converter cameras or other instruments (according to the program predetermined by the user, the unit generates in sequence start pulses in 8 channels);
- measurement of a distance to a lightning or other phenomena in atmosphere which is according a light flash and strong shock sound;
- pulse relaying, i.e. image intensification reset.
The unit can be principally used with any other instruments that are started by positive polarity pulses, for example, oscillographs, etc.
