Action

Convert a numeric variable into the binary string representation.

 

 

Syntax

Var = Bin(source)

 

 

Remarks

 

 

The BIN() function can be used to display the state of a port.

When the variable source has the value &B10100011 the string named var will be assigned with "10100011".

It can be easily printed to the serial port.

Example

$regfile = "m48def.dat"                                   ' specify the used micro

$crystal = 8000000                                         ' used crystal frequency

$baud = 19200                                               ' use baud rate

$hwstack = 32                                               ' default use 32 for the hardware stack

$swstack = 10                                               ' default use 10 for the SW stack

$framesize = 40                                             ' default use 40 for the frame space

 

Config Com1 = Dummy , Synchrone = 0 , Parity = None , Stopbits = 1 , Databits = 8 , Clockpol = 0

 

 

Dim B As Byte

' assign value to B

B = 45

 

Dim S As String * 10

'convert to string

S = Bin(b)

 

'assign value to portb

Portb = 33

Print Bin(portb)

 

'of course it also works for other numerics
