Strobe Output

When the Board class OutputFunction parameter is UNKNOWN, the output multiplexer of IOUT1 is under control of the Channel class StrobeMode parameter.

Output multiplexer state diagram (OutputFunction = UNKNOWN)

The output multiplexer is reconfigured at channel activation (SCA event) and deactivation (ECA event) according to the value of StrobeMode:

●

When StrobeMode = AUTO or MAN, the output multiplexer is configured as follows:

□

At channel activation, it is forced to the STROBE position, allowing the STROBE signal to drive the opto-coupler of the output port.

□

At channel deactivation, it is forced to the LOW position, turning off the opto-coupler and preventing any strobe pulses to occur while the channel is deactivated.

●

When StrobeMode = OFF, the output multiplexer is configured at channel activation to the LOW position, turning off the opto-coupler and preventing any strobe pulses to occur during channel activity. The OFF state persists after channel deactivation.

When StrobeMode = NONE, the output multiplexer is left unchanged.
