tsplink.readbit()
This function reads the state of a TSP-Link synchronization line.
Type
TSP-Link accessible
Affected by
Where saved
Default value
Function Yes
Usage
data = tsplink.readbit(N)
data
A custom variable that stores the state of the synchronization line
N
The trigger line (1 to 3)
Details
Returns a value of 0 if the line is low and 1 if the line is high.
Example
data = tsplink.readbit(3)
print(data)
Assume Line 3 is set high, and it is then read.
Output
1.00

tsplink.readport()
This function reads the TSP-Link synchronization lines as a digital I/O port.
Type
TSP-Link accessible
Affected by
Where saved
Default value
Function Yes
Usage
data = tsplink.readport()
data
Numeric value returned indicating which register bits are set
Details
The binary equivalent of the returned value indicates the input pattern on the I/O port. The least significant bit of
the binary number corresponds to Line 1 and Bit 3 corresponds to Line 3. For example, a returned value of 2 has
a binary equivalent of 010. Line 2 is high (1), and the other 2 lines are low (0).
