3.6.13 GIO (Get Input)
With this command the status of the available general purpose outputs of the module can be read. The
function reads a digital or an analog input port. Digital lines will read as 0 or 1, while the ADC channels
deliver their 16 bit result in the range of 0. . . 65535. In standalone mode the requested value is copied to
the accumulator register for further processing purposes such as conditional jumps. In direct mode the
value is only output in the value field of the reply, without affecting the accumulator. The actual status of a
digital output line can also be read.
Internal function:
The state of the i/o line specified by the type parameter and the bank parameter is read.
Related commands: SIO.
Mnemonic: GIO <port number>, <bank number>
