Receiving data
Data is automatically received in the receive buffer defined in the system registers. Receiving
includes processing the data in the receive buffer and preparing the system to receive further
data. (See also "Receiving Data from External Devices" on page 193.) Reception can be
controlled by the "reception done" flag or by directly evaluating the receive buffer. (See also
"Flag Operation in Program Controlled Communication" on page 198.)
