strobe
- Context:
- Normally the real-time scanner task takes a snapshot of the CBI
registers whenever it receives an interrupt from the system timing
generator. This command can be used to request a snapshot without
the system timing generator running. If the control program stops
receiving data from the scanner, this command can be used to
determine whether the system timing generator has stopped sending
interrupts or whether the scanner has died.
