095: Recall Whether Output Line is On or Off

This command allows you to read the output lines on an I/O board. This command will tell you

whether the output line is turned on or off.

<095> b l Check a single output line

<095> b l..l Check multiple output lines

Parameters:

- 095 is the default command name.

- B is the I/O board number (1..2)

- L is the output line number (1..8)

Notes:

To provide a customized message when an output line is turned on or off, call Commands

093 or 094 from a macro that also speaks a voice message. There is no easy way to get a

customized message to recall whether a line is on or off at the current time without turning it on or

off again. If you really need custom recall messages and you are very familiar with macro

programming, read the following, otherwise don't bother. The idea is to use a macro to call the

output line on and off commands. Also in that on/off macro, call the program-single-command-

macro command and program another macro (we will call it the recall macro) to speak the

appropriate recall message. That recall macro could then be executed to find out whether the

output line was turned on or off last. In other words, we would use the on and off macros to

program the recall macro. Whichever on/off macro was executed last would have programmed the

recall macro last, making it contain the appropriate message. If you didn't understand all of this,

don't worry about it, use this command, and wait for a later software version that will make all of

this easier.
