Yep...I also have the slave flash and the flash delay at work. People are
always amazed when I use it to lock the flash to an event...

Last time I used it was to investigate the dynamics of a shutter blade
movement that was bouncing at ends of travel. Took the actuate signal
through a (global specialties) pulse/delay generator which then triggered
the strobe. Gave me enough information to make some drive timing changes
that greatly improved the performance.
I was going to put my digital camera on a tripod in a dark room and use
the "bulb" setting to get a multiple exposure with the strobe. Didn't need
to get to that point though.

1950's technology but still solid (Hey, I'm 60 myself). LEDs and Diode
Lasers might be fast but that bright white Xenon strobe light is a thing of
beauty. Interesting how +400/-400V is used on the lamp and how the trigger
electrodes are cap coupled to the trigger transformer. The many trigger
electrodes not only initiate the discharge but keep the arc in a well
defined path.
