SETBIT(OPCSDEFS) Optical Printer Control System SETBIT(OPCSDEFS) NAME setbit - set bit(s) on a port USAGE setbit [port] [mask] [softlatch] # (values hex!) EXAMPLES setbit 0378 04 0 # lpt1 port bit #2 (1=#0, 2=#1, 4=#2) setbit 0306 01 1 # kuper card logic connector, # bit #1 (note softlatch=1) DESCRIPTION This command enables bits on port, based on the mask. Basically, the mask is OR'ed with the port's current value. [port] is the port number in hex. [mask] is a hex byte value which is OR'ed with the current value at the port. (In the case of softlatching, the software latched value is OR'ed with the mask, to create the new value that it output to the port) CAVEATS o With [softlatch] set to 1, only ports 0x0000 - 0x07ff are allowed. Any ports above 0x07ff with [softlatch] enabled causes an error. o External programs changing port bits defined to OPCS with [softlatch] (e.g. the kuper logic I/O port) should be aware that OPCS is maintaining its own internal latch for that port, and that latch won't know about hardware changes made by external programs. o Due to these issues, it's best to avoid using hardware that has to be latched. It's usually bad hardware practice to make WRITE ONLY ports, since different programs cannot co-communicate with them, unless some common data area or driver is arranged.
