Tech Support: Semaphores capture multiple inputs.

Kim asked:

Is there an easy way of converting inputs into semaphores, ie:
Read 8 inputs into X

Convert each bit into a semaphore (presume a bytes or 8 bits has been allocated, ie SemOne, SemTwo etc)

or do I have to save each one separately?

Kim, look here. The secret is that you must declare the semaphores using manual (mEQU) rather than automatic memory allocation (defSEM).
