How to read a specific bit of a register?
PostPosted: Mon Feb 02, 2004 5:50 pm     Reply with quote
Hi,

How can I be able to read a specific bit of a register? I want to know if it is a 1 or 0?

Like the case of LVDCON register were the bit IRVST can't be set but it can be read?

Need your help? thanx

Use a #bit statement to define the bit as a memory variable.
Then read it or write it, just like a variable. See how CCS
does this for the "t1_overflow" bit in the ex_freqc.c file:
http://www.cc.puv.fi/~t0101190/projekti/source/Examples/ex_freqc.c
Then check the PIC data sheet to find the address and bit number
of the LVDCON register and the IRVST bit, and do it the same way.

How to test file 0x10, bit 1:

bit_test(*0x10,1)

This function will return TRUE (1) or FALSE (0) depending on the bit.

EDIT: PCM's method is good too. He beat me to the reply. Surprised

Try both and look them over in the list file to see if they are different. Sometimes changing syntax reduces code size.

Usually the same amount of memory.
