Re: Burst Generator: switch wiring

Hi Jeff,

>(1) Is the Range switch closed on High or Low?

Closed for low range. Closing the switch adds extra capacitance to the
oscillator/clock circuit, making it run slower - it takes longer to charge a
larger capacitance.

>(2) Is the Retrigger switch closed on retriggering or nonretriggering?

Open - retriggering
Closed - nonretriggering

Retrigger. When the switch is closed, the unit cannot be retriggered during
an event. (This is written under "Summary of inputs, outputs and controls"
on the web page.)

>How can I deduce the closed positions from the circuit diagram?
>Thanks, Jeff

Working out the retrigger from the circuit diagram would not be easy, unless
you followed through the logic of the circuit - it is not immediately
obvious. The range switch works as described above.

Cheers,

Ken
