What's the equivalence in seconds for nTimeout?

[Carmen Garcia]

Hello everybody:

In ZigBee's Macro "Receive_Char" is used the input paramenter "nTimeout" that's not means seconds (time), it means how much munber of retries to check for a response...

¿Does anyone know the equivalence between this retries and the seconds between them?

Thanks you very much in advanced.

Answer for Flowcode 5:
Each try of nTimeout is 1000 microseconds. Value 255 is a special (wait forever) value.

Hi Jaq

I thought it was 100us as per the uart. cal file

Thanks you very much for the picture
This is the flow I followed...but the UART.cal file is the key for solve my doubt.

How do you view to this file?

Thanks you very much again.

Dazz,

The way I read the code is:
In the code of FC_CAL_UART_Receive there is a loop (rxStatus == UART_STATUS_LOOP) that waits 10us, increments delay1 and only if delay1 equals 100, nTimeout is decremented.
That makes 100 times 10 us = 1000 us delay for each decrement of nTimeout.

How do you view to this file?

Use your favorite editor to open c:\Program Files\Flowcode\v5\CAL\PIC\PIC_CAL_UART.c (for 64 bit systems it is c:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode\v5\CAL\PIC\PIC_CAL_UART.c)
