The return value is a pass/fail indicator where True means that the parity matched the desired parity. The data value has even parity if the number of one bits in the value is even. Example Dim b as Byte If Not ParityCheck(b, False) Then Debug.Print "Even parity check failed" End If Compatibility This routine is not available in BasicX compatibility mode.
