SET AUTOSTARTTRIGGER

ET AUTOSTARTTRIGGER

The AutoStartTrigger specifies the external input pins to monitor to cause the

automode to jump from wait state to work state. Triggers can either be a pin

going from low to high (rising edge) to high to low (falling edge). For each type of

change, an integer bit mask must be provided to specify the pins to listen for

changes on.

The command takes two parameters, a rising edge bit mask and a falling edge

bit mask.

NOTE: Changes made with this command will take effect immediately.

Example

Command

Response

>Get AutoStartTrigger

> AutoStartTrigger(rising, falling)= 0, 0

Command

Response

>Set AutoStartTrigger =3, 0 //Listen for rising edges on pins 0

and 1

> AutoStartTrigger (rising, falling)= 3, 0

ET AUTOWORKOUTPUT

GET AUTOWORKOUTPUT

The AutoWorkOutput specifies the output pin settings to effect while in the work

state of autonomous mode. The parameter is a bit mask for the two external

output pins, where a ‘1’ sets a pin to high, and a ‘0’ sets a pin to low. Pin 1 is

specified by bit one in the mask, and Pin 0 is specified by bit zero in the mask.

NOTE: Changes made with this command will take effect immediately.

Example

Command

Response

>Get AutoWorkOutput

> AutoWorkOutput =0

Command

Response

>Set AutoWorkOutput =3 //Turn pins 0 and 1 to high

> AutoWorkOutput =3

ET AUTOACTION
