SCANNED

Description

SCANNED is a read-only pseudo variable. Writes to SCANNED prohibited and treated as error. SCANNED can be used in conjunction with the SCAN command to read the current scan status or, if finished, to get the number of found WLAN nets.

Example

The following program starts a scan and polls SCANNED until the scan is complete. It then reads the number of found nets and prints the result.

outmode -2
' Start a scan with 300ms per channel
scan 0, 300
' Busy wait until scan finished
while SCANNED < 0
   sleep 100
   print ".";
wend
' Store number of found WLAN nets and print it
let a = SCANNED
print "found wlans: "; a
' Loop thru all records and print them
let s$ = ""
for s = 1 to a
   getscan s$
   print s$
next

Remarks

SCANNED reads -1 if there's no scan in progress. While a scan is running, SCANNED reads -2 and if the scan is over, SCANNED becomes a positive value that is the number of found WLANs in the neighbourhood. See also the SCAN command.
