UARTx_Data_Ready
Prototype
sub function UARTx_Data_Ready() as word
Description The function tests if data in receive buffer is ready for reading.
Parameters None.
Returns - 1 if data is ready for reading 
- 0 if there is no data in the receive register 
Requires Routine requires at least one UART module.
Used UART module must be initialized before using this routine. See UARTx_Init and UARTx_Init_
Advanced routines.
Example
dim receive as word
...
‘ read data if ready
if (UART1_Data_Ready() = 1) then
 receive = UART1_Read()
end if
Notes UART library routines require you to specify the module you want to use. To select the desired UART 
module, simply change the letter x in the routine prototype for a number from 1 to 6. 
Number of UART modules per MCU differs from chip to chip. Please, read the appropriate datasheet 
before utilizing this library. 
UARTx_Tx_Idle
Prototype
sub function UARTx_Tx_Idle() as word
Description Use the function to test if the transmit shift register is empty or not.
Parameters None.
Returns - 1 if the data has been transmitted 
- 0 otherwise 
Requires Routine requires at least one UART module.
Used UART module must be initialized before using this routine. See UARTx_Init and UARTx_Init_
Advanced routines.
Example
‘ If the previous data has been shifted out, send next data:
if (UART1_Tx_Idle() = 1) then
 UART1_Write(_data)
end if
