CipherLab BASIC Programming Part I
IOPIN_STATUS 8000, 8200, 8300, 8400, 8700
Purpose To check the I/O pin status.
Syntax A% = IOPIN_STATUS(N%)
Remarks “A%” is an integer variable to be assigned to the result.
“N%” is an integer variable, indicating the item to be checked with.
N%
Meaning
0 For 8000/8300: It’s the same using
IRDA_STATUS(0) to check IrDA
connection status.
 When A% = 0, it means the IrDA connection is disabled.
 When A% = 1, it means the IrDA connection is enabled.
For 8200/8400/8700: It always return 1. (A% = 1)
1 To check whether data transmission is successful or not.
 A% = the length of string, including delimiters.
2 For 8200/8400/8700 only: To check whether the mobile computer
is
connected via cradle, cable or 5V DC adapter.
 A% = A value that sums up values of each item.
Each bit indicates
a certain item as shown below.
