Unipro 3.5

Hexadecimal code is an extremely helpful number representation when coding computer systems. Recall that most addressing systems for microprocessors involve 16 binary bits which convert to four HEX digits and 8 binary data bits that convert to two HEX digits. The HEX system allows very long binary numbers to be represented in a must shorter way. Many of the responses to the MMI Controller's Serial Communications questions are in HEX. Therefore, in order for the user to correctly interpret an answer, a clear understanding of the Hexadecimal number system must be attained.

*An H is written after hexadecimal numbers to signify that the number is hexadecimal, it is not part of the actual number value.
