byte ScanHex(byte &Data, byte ByteCnt)
Convert an array of bytes containing ASCII characters which represent hexadecimal numbers into their
binary representation. The conversion is done in place. This means that after successful conversion,
number of valid is half of the given count of ASCII characters (two hex digits represent one binary
byte).

7.2.5.7 Timer Operations
void StartTimer(byte ID, byte Time)
Start a timer. After the specified time, the timer goes into the timed-out state, which can be tested by
the function TestTimer. A timer is running in real time in the background. This means, that even if other
tasks are performed by the script, the time till time-out is still kept correctly. The timed-out state is
reached only one time.
the function TestTimer. A timer is running in real time in the background. This means, that even if other
tasks are performed by the script, the time till time-out is still kept correctly. The timed-out state is
reached only one time.
Parameters:
byte ID
The ID of a timer which maybe one of the four available timer 0 to 3.
byte Time
The timeout values specified in multiples of 100 milliseconds.
Return:
None.
void StopTimer(byte ID)
Stop a timer. This will prevent a started timer going into timed-out state. It is possible to stop a timer,
which never has been started or stop an already stopped timer.
which never has been started or stop an already stopped timer.
Parameter:
byte ID
The ID of the timer to be stopped in the range of 0 to 3.
Return:
None.
byte TestTimer(byte ID)
Test, if a timer has reached the timed-out state. The timed-out state can only be detected once. After
that, the timer is stopped.
that, the timer is stopped.
Parameter:
byte ID
The ID of the timer to be tested.
Return:
TRUE
:
Timed-out state has been reached.
FALSE
: Timer is still running or stopped.
