* Generates a single-cycle strobe pulse at a rate determined by the supplied configuration. The

*
The strobe generator works by counting clock cycles so that a pulse occurs once every
* cntToInt cycles plus a fractional adjustment. The fractional part is implemented by
* a second counter that counts fracCntTo pulses before a full cntToInt
* cycle is considered complete. This yields a frame rate accurate to within {@code
* frameRateAccuracy}.
