Syntax:
PulseIn pin, user_variable, time units
Command Availability:
Available on all microcontrollers.
Explanation:
The PulseIn
command will monitor the specified pin when the pin is high, and then measure the high time. It will store the time in the
user variable.
The user variable must be a WORD if returned units are expected to be > 255 (Example: Pulse is 500 ms)
PulseIn is not recommended for accurate measurement of microsecond pulses
Example:
#chip 12F629, 4 Dir GPIO.0 In Dim TimeResult as WORD Do while GPIO.0 = Off 'Wait for next positive edge to start measuring Loop Pulsein GPIO.0, TimeResult, ms
