Downloadable macro reference

	Speak
Simulation only call to allow the computer to speak using the RealSpeak voice engine. Languages need to be downloaded and installed then selected using the Voice property.
- STRING	DataString
- VOID	Return

	GetTag
Gets the tag ID returned as a byte array. Must be called after CheckForTag has returned true. Byte array variable should be at least 6 bytes long.
- BYTE	Data
- VOID	Return

	IsKnownID
Checks to see if the last tag read by CheckForTag is saved into memory. Returns true if tag is stored in memory.
[[File:]] -	Return

	Initialise
Initialises the I2C bus ready for communications with the module. Wipes the tag ID storage ready for data to be stored.
- VOID	Return

	OpenPort
Opens the currently selected COM port, allowing data to be sent and received.
- VOID	Return

	SetProp
Allows the COM port property to be set from a parent component.
- STRING	PropName
- ULONG	PropVal
- VOID	Return

	GetProp
Allows the property filter for the COM port list to be copied to a parent component.
- STRING	PropName
- STRING	Return

	GetConsoleHandle
Gets the handle to the console allowing data displaying on the panel etc.
[[File:]] -	Return

	SendByteArray
Sends an array of bytes to the COM port.
- BYTE	Data
Data byte array to send
- UINT	Length
Number of bytes to send
- VOID	Return

	ReceiveBinary16Bit
Receives a binary 16-bit value split across two bytes.
[[File:]] -	MSBfirst
0=Least significant byte first, 1=Most significant byte first
- BYTE	Timeout
Max amount of time in ms to wait between bytes
- UINT	Return

	ReceiveFloat
Attempts to receive a floating point number as ASCII characters and convert back into a numeric value. Note this function will receive until a timeout or a none numeric char is received, the none numeric char will be lost.
- BYTE	Timeout
Max time in ms to wait in between bytes
[[File:]] -	IgnoreData
0=Dont ignore any data, 1=Ignore any initial none numeric data
[[File:]] -	Return

	SendFloat
Sends out a floating point number as an ASCII String from the UART interface.
[[File:]] -	Number
- VOID	Return

	SendHexNumber
Sends out a number as an ASCII hexadecimal String from the UART interface.
- ULONG	Number
- BYTE	NumChars
Number of characters in the string data, 0 for auto, 2 for 0x00, 4 for 0x0000
[[File:]] -	Prefix
Generate hexadecimal prefix 0x e.g. 1= 0xFF, 0= FF
- VOID	Return

	SetFlowControl
Allows the Flowcontrol signals to be enabled or disabled.
- BYTE	State
A value of 0 disables flow control, 1 or above willl enable flow control.
- VOID	Return

	OpenPort
Opens the currently selected COM port, allowing data to be sent and received.
- VOID	Return

	ReceiveHexNumber
Attempts to receive a hex number as ASCII characters and convert back into a numeric value. Note this function will receive until a timeout or a none hexadecimal char is received, the none numeric char will be lost.
- BYTE	Timeout
Max time in ms to wait in between bytes
[[File:]] -	IgnoreData
0=Dont ignore any data, 1=Ignore any initial none numeric data
[[File:]] -	Prefix
Look for prefix before receiving, 1=0xFF, 0=FF
- ULONG	Return

	SetProp
Allows the COM port property to be set from a parent component.
- STRING	PropName
- ULONG	PropVal
- VOID	Return

	SendBinary32Bit
Sends out a 32-bit binary value split across four bytes.
- ULONG	Value
[[File:]] -	MSBfirst
0=Least significant byte first, 1=Most significant byte first
- VOID	Return

	SendBinaryFloat
Sends out a 32-bit binary floating point value split across four bytes.
[[File:]] -	Value
[[File:]] -	MSBfirst
0=Least significant byte first, 1=Most significant byte first
