PRINT

Top  Previous  Next

Action

Send output to the RS-232 port.

 

 

Syntax

PRINT var ; " constant"  

 

 

Remarks

var

The variable or constant to print.

 

You can use a semicolon (;) to print more than one variable at one line.

When you end a line with a semicolon,  no linefeed will be added.

 

The PRINT routine can be used when you have a RS-232 interface on your uP.

See the manual for a design of an RS-232 interface.

The RS-232 interface can be connected to a serial communication port of your computer.

This way you can use a terminal emulator as an output device.

You can also use the build in terminal emulator.
