Hi all,

I have two DS1620 connected to a PIC. First one has RST pin on  RA0 of PIC,
and the second one has RST pin on  RA3 of PIC.Pins DQ(data) and CLK from
both 1620's are on pins RA1 and RA2. DS1620 doesnt communicate with PIC
unless RST is high. So, can anybody tell me this: how do I tell the
assembler, that I want to use the same routines e.g. OUTPUT_8 with both
1620's, the only difference being the connection of RST's.

        When I worked with one 1620, it was fine, I just said  RST EQU 0. When I
worked with two, I tried with RST SET 0 for talking to the first 1620 and
then changed it to RST SET 3. Build is succesfull, but it seems to me that
assembler only remembers the last SET directive and uses it..

        Then I also tried with VARIABLE RST=0 and RST=3, but no succes.
Example:

RST     SET     0       (VARIABLE  RST=0)

OUTPUT_8                                ;first one

        movwf   OUTPUT_REG              ;store W into output register
        bsf     C1620, CLK              ;CLOCK CYCLE=FALLING EDGE followed by RISING EDGE
        bsf     C1620, RST              ;reset high=start communication
        movlw   .8                      ;preload counter, so we output 8 bits
        movwf   COUNT

RST     SET     3       (VARIABLE  RST=3)

Tia, Samo
