$SERIALINPUT1

Action

Specifies that serial input of the second UART must be redirected.

Syntax

$SERIALINPUT1 = label

Remarks

With the redirection of the INPUT command, you can use your own input routines.

This way you can use other devices as input devices.

Note that the INPUT statement is terminated when a RETURN code (13) is received.

By default when you use INPUT or INKEY(), the compiler will expect data from the COM2 port. When you want to use a keyboard or remote control as the input device you can write a custom routine that puts the data into register R24 once it asks for this data.

Action

This compiler directive will redirect all serial input to the LCD display instead of echo-ing to the serial port.

Syntax

$SERIALINPUT2LCD

Remarks

You can also write your own custom input or output driver with the $SERIALINPUT and $SERIALOUTPUT statements, but the $SERIALINPUT2LCD is handy when you use a LCD display. By adding only this directive, you can view all output form routines such as PRINT, PRINTBIN, on the LCD display.

$SERIALOUTPUT

Action

Specifies that serial output must be redirected.

Syntax

With the redirection of the PRINT and other serial output related commands, you can use your own routines.

This way you can use other devices as output devices.

$SIM

Action

Instructs the compiler to generate empty wait loops for the WAIT and WAITMS statements. This to allow faster simulation.

Syntax

$SIM

Remarks

Simulation of a WAIT statement can take a long time especially when memory view windows are opened.

The $SIM compiler directive instructs the compiler to not generate code for WAITMS and WAIT. This will of course allows faster simulation.

When your application is ready you must remark the $SIM directive or otherwise the WAIT and WAITMS statements will not work as expected.

When you forget to remove the $SIM option and you try to program a chip you will receive a warning that $SIM was used.
