What is the Strobe or Signal Common or Output Enable function on the ICAO altitude data port?

0

This is a control signal for the ICAO parallel altitude data. On devices manufactured by Trans-Cal this function is on pin 6 of the 15-Pin connector or Pin A of models with 26-pin cylindrical connectors. A “high” or “open” on this pin will disable the ICAO altitude data. A “low” or “ground” on this line will enable the altitude data. Some interconnecting devices may use this signal to control the flow of data from the Digitizer. Be aware that when using this signal and connecting multiple devices to the Digitizer, interruptions of the ICAO data will occur when the controlling device “strobes” the Digitizer.
