get the data for port.
port bit-pattern:
Peripheral ports PA, PB and Control ports lines CA2, CB2:
- 0 low level
- 1 high level
Control ports lines CA1, CB1:
- 0 active edge did not occurr
- 1 active edge occurred
So for example, when port is PB and bit-pattern is 0b00001111, lines PB0..PB3 are high (1) and lines PB4..PB7 are low (0).
A bit-pattern of 0b10 for CB (or CA), indicates that CB2 is high and CB1 did not record an active edge transition since the last read (CB1 is at bit-position 0).

error in (no error) The error in cluster can accept error information wired from VIs previously called. Use this information to decide if any functionality should be bypassed in the event of errors from other VIs. The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed. |
|
|
status The status boolean is either TRUE (X) for an error, or FALSE (checkmark) for no error or a warning. The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed. |
|
|
code The code input identifies the error or warning. The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed. |
|
|
source The source string describes the origin of the error or warning. The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed. |
