Macro reference

GetAnalogIn

Fc9-comp-macro.png GetAnalogIn
Read analog input 1 or 2 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Input
Which input to read (1 ro 2) 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Return


GetCount

Fc9-comp-macro.png GetCount
Read the value of the chosen counter for the currently selected board. 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Counter
The counter to read (1 or 2) 
Fc9-u16-icon.png - UINT Return


GetDevices

Fc9-comp-macro.png GetDevices
Returns a value representing the available devices. Device is a binary value where bit(N) set = device at address (N) is connected. 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Return


GetDigitalByte

Fc9-comp-macro.png GetDigitalByte
Read all five inputs at once, returning them as a bit pattern in a byte. The upper three bits will always be zero. 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Return


GetDigitalIn

Fc9-comp-macro.png GetDigitalIn
Read the individual input at the given index (1..5) 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Input
Which input to read (1 to 5) 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Return


ResetCount

Fc9-comp-macro.png ResetCount
Resets the chosen counter of the currently selected board. 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Counter
Which counter to reset (1 or 2) 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Select

Fc9-comp-macro.png 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. 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Address
The address off the board to be selected (0...3). 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Return


SetAnalogOut

Fc9-comp-macro.png SetAnalogOut
Sets the chosen analog output to the given value (0-255) 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Output
Which output to set the value for (1 ro 2) 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Value
Value to set (0-255) 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


SetCountDebounce

Fc9-comp-macro.png SetCountDebounce
Set the amount of time allowed for switches to settle before being counted as a new event to count. 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT Counter
Which counter to make a setting for (1 or 2) 
Fc9-s16-icon.png - INT DebounceTime
Settling time for switch debouncing in milliseconds 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


SetDigitalByte

Fc9-comp-macro.png SetDigitalByte
Sets all eight digital outputs according to the individual bits of the Value parameter. 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Value
Value to send to the selected board. 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


SetDigitalOut

Fc9-comp-macro.png SetDigitalOut
Sets the state of the output given by the output index (1 to 8) 
Fc9-u8-icon.png - BYTE Out
Number of the output to set the value for 
Fc9-bool-icon.png - BOOL Value
 
Fc9-void-icon.png - VOID Return


Property reference

Fc9-prop-icon.png Properties
Fc9-conn-icon.png Simulation
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Addr 0
Use software simulation to emulate a board connected at address 0. 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Addr 1
Use software simulation to emulate a board connected at address 1. 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Addr 2
Use software simulation to emulate a board connected at address 2. 
Fc9-type-7-icon.png Addr 3
Use software simulation to emulate a board connected at address 3. 
Fc9-conn-icon.png Hardware
Fc9-type-16-icon.png 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.
