Fox (LP3500)

Use this function to poll a selected digital input until a timeout occurs. The function call forces the 

LP3500 to enter the low-power mode using the battery for polling.  Upon activation of the channel or 

expiration of the timeout,  this function will enable the normal power mode and exit.

Use 

devPowerSet(ALLDEVICES, int state)

 before and after this function call to deactivate 

and activate all devices to operate at less power.
