ABSTRACT:
A microcomputer-based real-time flash x-ray controller, which completely eliminates the "guesswork" in capturing projectiles on radiographs. The microcomputer measures the projectile velocity with high precision, calculates the correct delays in real-time and sends out appropriate triggering pulses to activate the x-ray tubes, arbitrarily arranged along the projectile flight path, to capture the projectile on radiographs at desired locations. The system imposes virtually no restrictions on x-ray tube locations downrange. It is software driven, user friendly and fully programmable for various ballistic range set-ups and it can be easily adapted to synchronize the time-critical controls of other equipment such as high speed cameras, target instrumentations, and the like. The use of a personal computer, centralizes the range operations as equipment control and experiment record-keeping become an integral task.
