Macro reference

GetCount

	GetCount
Read the value of the chosen counter for the currently selected board.
- INT	Counter
The counter to read (1 or 2)
- UINT	Return

GetAnalogIn

	GetAnalogIn
Read analog input 1 or 2
- INT	Input
Which input to read (1 ro 2)
- INT	Return

SetAnalogOut

	SetAnalogOut
Sets the chosen analog output to the given value (0-255)
- BYTE	Output
Which output to set the value for (1 ro 2)
- BYTE	Value
Value to set (0-255)
- VOID	Return

SetDigitalOut

	SetDigitalOut
Sets the state of the output given by the output index (1 to 8)
- BYTE	Out
Number of the output to set the value for
- BOOL	Value
- VOID	Return

GetDigitalByte

	GetDigitalByte
Read all five inputs at once, returning them as a bit pattern in a byte. The upper three bits will always be zero.
- INT	Return

ResetCount

	ResetCount
Resets the chosen counter of the currently selected board.
- INT	Counter
Which counter to reset (1 or 2)
- VOID	Return

GetDevices

	GetDevices
Returns a value representing the available devices. Device is a binary value where bit(N) set = device at address (N) is connected.
- INT	Return

Select

	Select
Selects the board address to send to and receive data from. Echos the address if the selection is valid. Returns -1 if there is no device available at that address.
- INT	Address
The address off the board to be selected (0...3).
- INT	Return

SetDigitalByte

	SetDigitalByte
Sets all eight digital outputs according to the individual bits of the Value parameter.
- BYTE	Value
Value to send to the selected board.
- VOID	Return

GetDigitalIn

	GetDigitalIn
Read the individual input at the given index (1..5)
- INT	Input
Which input to read (1 to 5)
- INT	Return

SetCountDebounce

	SetCountDebounce
Set the amount of time allowed for switches to settle before being counted as a new event to count.
- INT	Counter
Which counter to make a setting for (1 or 2)
- INT	DebounceTime
Settling time for switch debouncing in milliseconds
- VOID	Return

Property reference

	Properties
	Simulation
	Addr 0
Use software simulation to emulate a board connected at address 0.
	Addr 1
Use software simulation to emulate a board connected at address 1.
	Addr 2
Use software simulation to emulate a board connected at address 2.
	Addr 3
Use software simulation to emulate a board connected at address 3.
	Hardware
	Scan
Request a scan of the currently connected hardware to detect what Velleman boards are connected and at what addresses. Where hardware is not detected at an addess, a System Panel simulation will be used instead where one has been requested in the properties.
