An Object that provides a data-strobe function for devices such as printers and LCDs.

An oDataStrobe Object links to 2 Objects.  The first is an Object that is to be used to transfer data to an external device such as a printer.  The second Object is used to control the external devices Data-Strobe line.

When data is written to the oDataStrobe Object, the data will be transferred to the Object that is connected to the external device's I/O lines and then the Data-Strobe line will transition from 0 to 1 and then back to 0 again.

If the Mode property is set to 1, then the data will be broken down into 2 4-bit nibbles which are sent individually.  Each of the 2 4-bit data transfers are accompanied with a Data-Strobe.

The following table lists the size and availability of the oDataStrobe Object:

Object		Size	Version
	oDataStrobe	5 Bytes	A.1.0 and greater

The following table lists the Properties of the oDataStrobe Object:

Property	Description
Address	Returns a pointer to the address of the oDataStrobe Object instance. Data-Type: Number-Pointer, Read-Only Data-Range: 0 - 127
Mode	A value that indicates if the oDataStrobe Object will use an 8-bit mode or a dual 4-bit mode. Data-Type: Bit Data-Range: 0 - 1 The following table list the values of the Mode Property: Mode Constant Description 0 cv8Bit The Value property will be transferred as a single 8-bit value and a single data-strobe will be generated when the Value property is written to. 1 cv4Bit The Value property will be transferred as two 4-bit values and a data-strobe will be generated for each when the Value property is written to.
Nibble	A value that indicates if the data sent to the Output Object is the Low-Nibble or the High-Nibble. Data-Type: Nibble, Flag Data-Range: 0 - 1 The following table list the values of the Nibble Property. Nibble Constant Description 0 cvLow The lowest 4 bits of the Value property is being used for the current data strobe. 1 cvHigh The Upper 4 bits of the Value property is being used for the current data strobe.
OnChange	A value that specifies if the Data-Strobe is generated only when the value has changed. Data-Type: Bit Data-Range: 0 - 1 The following table list the values of the OnChange Property: OnChange Constant Description 0 cvFalse The Value Property is transferred and the data strobe is generated each time the Value property is written to. 1 cvTrue The Value Property is transferred and the data strobe is generated only when the Value property is written to with a value different than the last value written.
Operate	A value that indicates if a Data-Strobe is generated in response to new data. Data-Type: Bit, Flag Data-Range: 0 - 1 The following table list the values of the Operate Property: Operate Constant Description 0 cvFalse The Output Objects Value property is not updated. 1 cvTrue The Output Objects Value property is updated.
Output	A pointer that specifies which Object receives the data written to the Value property. Data-Type: Number-Pointer Data-Range: 0 - 127
Result	A value that indicates the Data-Strobe is active. Data-Type: Byte, Flag Data-Range: 0 - 1
String	The Value property represented as a string. Note: The String property is available in OOPic Basic Version 2 Data-Type: String
Strobe	A pointer that specifies which Flag property is used as a Data-Strobe. Data-Type: Flag-Pointer Data-Range: 0 - 127
Value	A value that is transferred to the Unit Object. Data-Type: Byte, Default Data-Range: 0 - 255
