LINE# (Statemen t)
Syntax: LINE# line,data
Where: line = 101 to 125, is the digital I/O line connector number. (Line ranges may vary. Check
your ha rdwa re ma nual.)
data = O N , O FF , 0, o r 1 . Se e te x t b e lo w .
Function: S e t s a s pe c if i ed l in e a t t h e d i gi t al I /O c o n ne c to r hi g h o r lo w .
Mode: Comm and, Run
Use: LIN E #10 2,0
Card: Basi c com man d avai lable fo r all car ds. line ranges are card dependen t. Refer to hardw are manu al.
D E S C R IP T I ON
LIN E # ad dresse s the dig ital I/O conne ctor pin s. line must be be tween 101 and 125. Line 102 is not valid (it
is the +5 V su pply).
data is either ON, O FF, 0 or 1. ON is the same a s a 1 while O FF is a 0. '0' sets the line low w hile a '1' sets it
high. This is the opp osite of the LIN E com mand. O pto modu les require a low , or '0' level to turn on. LINE
inverts data while LINE # does not. Using ON and OFF speeds up statement execution by about 20%.
LIN E and LINE # ma y be us ed inte rchan geab ly in a p rogram .

EXAMPLE
The following example shows how different data is returned.
10 LINE 118,OFF Turns off external opto module 18.
20 LINE #118,0 Sets digital I/O connector line 18 to 0.
30 PRINT LINE(118),LINE#(118)
run
1 0
The function LINE(118) returns a 1 because that is the condition to turn off a module.
