INPUTBIN
Contents |
Action
Read binary data from the serial port.
Syntax
INPUTBIN var1 [,var2]
INPUTBIN #channel , var1 [,var2]
Remarks
|
var1 |
The variable that is assigned with the characters from the serial port.
|
|
var2 |
An optional second (or more) variable that is assigned with the data from the serial input stream. |
The channel is for use with the software UART routine and must be used with OPEN and CLOSE.
The number of bytes to read depends on the variable you use.
When you use a byte variable, 1 character is read from the serial port.
An integer will wait for 2 characters and an array will wait until the whole array is filled.
Note that the INPUTBIN statement doesn't wait for a <RETURN> but just for the number of bytes.
You may also specify an additional numeric parameter that specifies how many bytes will be read. This is convenient when you are filling an array.
Inputbin ar(1) , 4 ' will fill 4 bytes starting at index 1.
