We have an applicon color ink jet plotter.  The thing comes with a strobe
light that gets synced to the units rotation so that you can adjust the
convergence of the nozzles.  While waiting for a plot one day, I turned
the strobe on the tape drive to watch it freeze the real motion.  I forgot
that the tape sensors were optical.
