Synchronized Output circuits can be configured with various synchronization protocols. When the output circuit is configured as strobe and also configured as non-silenceable and the device used on the output is a combination of horn and strobe, then if the signal silence is activated while the circuit is active the horn(s) are silenced while the strobe keeps on flashing.
