Start or stop the data strobe.

Arguments:

Boolean state

This should be true if you want to stop taking data, or false to resume data taking.

Example:

The following example restarts the data strobe, and thus initiates data taking by the real-time scanner task.

  inhibit false

Context:

The real-time scanner takes a snapshot of the CBI registers whenever an interrupt is received from the system-timing-generator VME board. The inhibit command can be used to pause or resume the delivery of these interrupts. This has the effect of pausing and resuming data taking.
