ABSTRACT:
An illuminator system is provided that is responsive to a trigger signal from a remote source to supply controlled pulses to a load, such as an array of light emitting diodes in a LED strobe. The LED strobe is positioned in close proximity to a lens mounting system. The system of the present invention includes a remote trigger source, a load such as an array of light emitting diodes, and a pulse gate section. The pulse gate section includes a trigger interface having an input connected to the trigger source and is configured to generate a pulse trigger signal in response to a trigger signal from the trigger source. A clock generator responds to the pulse trigger signal by generating at least one clock signal, and a flash pulse generator responds to the clock signal and to at least one user definable input signal by generating a flash pulse signal. The flash pulse signal is used to activate or deactivate the load, and a load drive section is used to drive the load.
