A device giving a fast series of very short intense light flashes that can have the effect of making action appear intermittent It is also used to describe a similar effect on a moving light
A pulse used for timing and synchronization Timing control with ALE Since the ALE frequency is different from the clock frequency, the word "strobe" is used with ALE For instance, we say that the ALE signal strobes an address (rather than clocks an address) STB A and STB B strobe signals when port C is used for handshaking For input operations these signals indicate that the peripheral device is ready to send data; for output operations the signals indicate that the device has received the data
