CI
FUNCTION: Configure Communication Interrupt
DESCRIPTION:
The CI command configures a program interrupt based on characters received on communications
port 2, the AUX serial port. An interrupt causes program flow to jump to the #COMINT
subroutine. If multiple program threads are used, the #COMINT subroutine runs in thread 0
and the remaining threads continue to run without interruption. The characters received can
be accessed via the internal variables P2CH, P2ST, P2NM, P2CD. For more, see Operator
Data Entry Mode in chapter 7 of the user manual.
