BASE

number BASE

Classification:

Direct processor control

Command Syntax:

BASE <radix>

Limits:

<radix> = -36 to -2 or 2 to 36

Query Syntax:

BASE?

Query Response:

<radix>

Description:

The BASE command establishes the radix of address and data

 

parameters passed to or returned from the ADDR, GETA, GETR,

 

PUTA, PUTR, and CALL instructions. If a negative radix is

 

specified, then parameters passed to (or returned from) these

 

functions are assumed to be signed. For example, if BASE= -16,

 

then the value -1 communicates the value FFFFFFFF hex. The

 

BASE? query returns the current setting of BASE. The radix

 

<radix> always is passed and returned in base 10, regardless of

 

the setting of BASE. BASE is preset to -10 each time the generator

 

is powered on. Base -10 is the preferred radix. The BASE? query

 

returns the current setting of BASE.

 

 

 

 

Note – This command normally will be used only with custom

 

applications and command files created by Quantum Data.

The procedure checks all RAM storage locations for corrupt data.
