SCIreadSCL
Reads the SCL clock line
Declaration
int NAPI GA_SCIFuncs::SCIreadSCL(
N_int32 channel)
Prototype In
snap/ddc.h
Parameters
channel |
Channel to control via I2C (DDC_ChannelsType) |
Return Value
Bit value read from port
Description
This function reads the value from the SCL clock line and returns it. Note that not all controllers support this function so you must determine if this function is supported by looking at the returned SCI capabilities flags. For cards that do not allow reading of the clock line, a delay based system must be used to slow down the host during transfer to the display. Normally the SCL line is used by the display device to speed throttle the host transfers by forcing the SCL line low while it is busy and unable to respond.
