It designates the hardware line driven by the channel and aimed at generating an illumination pulse.

The selection of the electrical style of the hardware line, by means of parameter StrobeCtl, is a prerequisite.

If the strobe signal was previously issued on another I/O line, reset OutputConfig to FREE for that line. Otherwise, the strobe signal will be issued on both I/O lines, the previously selected one and the new one.

On Grablink Value, Grablink Avenue and Grablink Expert 2, the designated StrobeLine is set to its inactive state when the channel goes inactive.
