Wondering About the Auto-Generated "portNum" Parameters

[John-P-Cargille]

Hey All,

I keep seeing an auto-generated parameter in my port handler functions called const NATIVE_INT_TYPE portNum. What are you generally supposed to supply as an argument for this parameter, when you make a call to some Port P "pOut_out()"? Should it be an opcode, if you're making the port call from inside a command handler? Should it be 1 as a default to indicate success? What is the actual purpose of this parameter? I also don't know if there's a difference in how this portNum parameter is generated for synchronous versus asynchronous ports.

Thanks!

After successfully building my project and running it in the gds, my code actually failed some "Fw::Assert"s, when I ran commands, which I found later to be caused by me passing the "opcode" parameter from the command handler into my pOut_out() calls as an argument. Changing this argument to 0 fixed the issue, but I'm still not sure why it did. Maybe it was struggling to translate from hexadecimal to decimal?
