1.4. Notational Conventions

16#••••

Value expressed in hexadecimal, which is equivalent to the H••••, ••••h and 0x•••• notations,

 

sometimes used in other documents. N.B. The AbcConf software uses the 0x•••• notation.

 

E.g. 16#0100 = 0x0100 = 256.

02#•••• ••••

Value expressed in binary. The number of ‘•’ digits depends on the size of the item of data

 

represented. Each nibble (group of 4 bits) is separated from the other nibbles by a space.

 

Examples: byte 2#0010 0111 = 39, word 2#0110 1001 1101 0001 = 16#69D1 = 27089.
