TAG_WRITE_W
B-136
Description
Use TAG_WRITE_W to write data to a tagged memory area. This
function writes the data, then it waits until a corresponding
TAG_READ_W is posted. This function guarantees that the write data
area is semaphored during the write operation.
C Example
unsigned my_fred;
unsigned status;
my_fred = 42;
.
.
.
status = TAG_WRITE_W (“Fred”,0,sizeof(my_fred),&my_fred,30);
BASIC Example
The BASIC function code is 67.
DIM status : INTEGER
DIM tag_id : INTEGER
DIM w_data : INTEGER
.
.
.
rem * TAG_WRITE_W - write 4 bytes to a tag, starting at offset 0 from
rem * w_data with a timeout of 30 seconds. This function
rem * will return only after the tag has been read by
rem * TAG_READ_W or a timeout.
RUN AB_BAS (67,status,tag_id,0,4,ADDR(w_data),30)
