fin
Function call to input sample 86 μs
t
ret
Return from function 52 μs or 22 μs
Note: If the measurement is new, t
ret
= 52 μs. If a new time is not being
returned, t
ret
= 22 μs.
Programming Considerations
For pulsecount input, the data type of the return value for the io_in( ) function is
an unsigned long.
