WriteBBit

Description:

This is a USBm.dll function that writes masked values to port B. The net result of writing masked values is that only the specified bits will be written. The resulting port condition is the logic combination of the current port state ANDed with the first term and then ORed with the second. This command can affect any number of lines on the port.

Command Syntax: (USBm.dll)

USBm_WriteBBit(device, and_term, or_term)

The USBm_WriteBBit function syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
device	A zero-based index to address the appropriate USB device.
and_term	Bits in and_term that are 0 force the line to be a zero. The set bits act as a "don't care". Think of the 0 positions in and_term as "turn off".
or_term	Bits in or_term that are 1 force the output line high, the bits set to 0 are don't-cares. Think of the 1 positions in or_term as "turn on".
