Re: ATM Focal plane strobe

    I might be worth the effort to run the chopper at 60 Hz, thereby lumping
the interpulse with the main pulse...Of course the shutter window would have
to be doubled in width though.
    The interpulse is not exactly 180º out of phase from the main pulse, but
its not too far off. And for those of you wondering what the frequency is...
29.92 Hz.
