Bulletin number: 384 Products affected: Dx214 Description: ChanInTimeFail and ChanOutTimeFail clarification Component: documentation Date: Thu Apr 2 11:20:49 BST 1992 ----- The description (pages 71 and 76) of the time parameter to ChanInTimeFail and ChanOutTimeFail needs clarification. The parameter refers to an absolute time as recorded on the high or low priority timer. In order to have a timeout interval for the input communication use the following: return = ChanInTimeFail(chan, buffer, size, ProcTimePlus(ProcTime(), interval) ) If you put an absolute time in as the time parameter the routine might wait for a long time, or always return timeout status.
