Some status data is available from the SPice10209 on SPice pins. This is the same information as in the status bits given in the memory map, only accessed in a different way (by regular Input or GoIfInOn/Off instructions). Because these are SPice pins they will map to different input numbers depending on which SPLat controller is hosting the SPice10209. The following table-cum-worksheet shows the input numbers for each of the compatible SPLat controllers existing at time of writing.

Input number

Ch 1 rdg71013 3
Ch 2 rdg81114 4

+ Inverted logic

The ‘U’ column indicates which byte of U needs to be set prior to a SPiceConfigU instruction. Those bytes of U should be set to 2 (inputs) for the SPice10209.

SPice pins 4 and 5 (not shown above) are used for TSP communications. SPice pin 9 may used on MMi99/200 and SL99 as a programmable voltage source for thermistors. The SPice10209 does not use pin 9.

The Fault pin (SPice pin 6) is shared between the two channels. It will give the correct indication for the channel that was last read out. Hence to use the Fault pin you must first read the channel data (reading either raw, unfiltered data or the filtered data will do the trick).

The SPice pins simply provide an alternative way of access status bits that are also available via the TSP interface. They do have the advantage of being simpler to access than the status bits.
