Send S-Link Bit-Mode

(Slink-e 2.0 and above only)

Command Code:

Binary: [0 p1 p0 1 1 1 1 1] [0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0] [number of bits B] [data byte]

Description:

B contains the number of bits to send (1-7) and is followed by the data byte containing the bits. This function was added so that data could be sent out the S-Link port which is not a complete number of bytes, as is the case for sending IR data on the S-Link bus. This command works exactly the same as the port send command and must be followed by a port send end. To send a 43-bit sequence of data, one would send 5 whole bytes using the S-Link port send command and the follows this with a 3-bit send bit mode command (followed of course by the port send end command)
