A Multifunctional Synchronizing Control System And Its Applications To High Speed Photography

Time synchronizing problem is an important problem in high speed photography. In order to solve this problem, a multifunctional synchronizing control system has been developed. This paper introduces structural principle of a multifunctional synchronizing control system and its applications in range test. This system is mainly applied to synchronizing photography which controls high speed cameras in measurement of trajectory and armor penetrating process, and may be also applied to synchronizing control in other time-seguential operations. This system has been used in range test to control one ZDF-50 rotating-mirror and two XG-1 slit high speed cameras, at the same time, to take pictures of 12.7mm antiaircraft machine gun bullets.
