Valid for use with hash commands: HMI, HMI_Trace, and HMI_Log

Implemented on the following platforms: HMi430, Android, Windows

This is an old function. Print is newer and shinier. With formatting functions it can do what this one does, and a lot more.

This function will cause the 8-bit number stored in RAM at location bArg to be output in hexadecimal format in a field width of 2 characters. The formatting is identical to OBLCD_HexDispX

Example:

The following program will generate a running 8-bit hexadecimal count in the top lefthand corner of the SimpleHMI screen.

The hash command Open_Serial is documented elsewhere. Here it simply opens the serial port for use with a user defined protocol at 38400 Baud.
