Keyword: Strobe
Operation: Strobed
Required: Yes
Format: “Strobe=arg1 arg2” where the arguments consist of decimal or hexadecimal values.
Argument: Arg1 is a mask that denes the input bits to read. Arg2 is the required input state
that directs Flyer to perform another read of le input bits and compare the results
to a list of valid mark les in the Master Control File.
Notes: The Strobe is a command to load another mark le into memory. When the speci-
ed input state matches the Strobe value, FH Flyer sets the output state specied
by the optional SetDigitalInit keyword and then delays a minimum of InitialDelay
(optional) milliseconds before performing a comparison of the inputs to determine
the next le match. If a Strobe is not present, Flyer continues marking the le
currently loaded into memory. FH Flyer does not constantly monitor the Strobe
input. Flyer checks for a Strobe only before or after a mark as dened by the
StrobeBeforeMark keyword.
Example: # Read state of inputs IN1 and IN0 and perform input read if input state is 01
# (if IN1 = 0 and IN0 = 1).
# IN1 = 2, IN0 = 1 so mask equals 3 decimal or 0x03 hex. The valid strobe
# input value is 1 decimal or 0x01 hex.
Strobe=0x03 0x01
# remember that a space is a data delimiter!
# next step in Master Control File.
Keyword: StrobeBeforeMark
Operation: Strobed
Required: No
Format: “StrobeBeforeMark=arg1” where arg1 is a single integer value.
Argument: A nonzero value forces Flyer to check the Strobe prior to marking the current
Drawing. If StrobeBeforeMark is zero or undened, Flyer evaluates the Strobe
input after the mark is nished and all Drawing automation is complete.
Example: # check the Strobe input before marking the current le.
StrobeBeforeMark=1
