Trigger via RS232

[COmpa]

Hi all,
i need to use a Perkin Elmer Strobo lamp MVS4100

this lamp need a +5V, 20mA,10-100µsec pulse to be triggered
via the 9pin connector.

Do you thing is somewhere avaible some hardware that i could put
between the Lamp and the Personal Computer (via rs232) so i could
controll by computer(via software) the trigger?.

thanks in Advance,

G.

Sure, just take the handshake signal, DTR or RTS

If your using a frame grabber card attached to the PC, they usually
have a TTL line to trigger the strobe.
