C - Configuration
SYNTAX
Cn
Define I/O mode
n
of ports, where
n =
value from
0
to
5
.
C0
(Default) Define all 5 ports as input.
C1
Define Port 1 as output; the other ports are input.
C2
Define Ports 1 and 2 as output; the other ports are input.
C3
Define Ports 1 through 3 as output; the other ports are input.
C4
Define Ports 1 through 4 as output; Port 5 is input.
C5
Define all 5 ports as output.
C?
Returns current port configuration mode
n
.
DESCRIPTION
Ports 1 through 5 are configured as inputs or outputs with the Configuration (
C
) command. Each port is 8-bits wide. At
power-up, all ports are initialized as inputs; the Configuration command is usually the first command to be sent after
power-up. All ports programmed as outputs are set to a logic 0 after receiving the Configuration command. The actual
output level is dependent upon the Invert command (
I16
).

CAUTION
Because the Configuration (C) command is used, the following programming
example(s) will not work properly if the HVCX1 option is installed with a conflicting
hardware configuration. To be safe, remove the HVCX1 board and replace it with the
jumper board to run the example(s).
