HEX to ASCII (HTA)
The HEX to ASCII instruction converts a table of HEX
values to a specified table of ASCII values. HEX values are
one digit and their ASCII equivalents are two digits.
This means a HEX table of two V-memory locations would require four V-memory locations
for the equivalent ASCII table. The function parameters are loaded into the accumulator
stack and the accumulator by two additional instructions. Listed below are the steps necessary
to program a HEX to ASCII table function. The example on the following page shows a
program for the HEX to ASCII table function.
Step 1: Load the number of V-memory locations in the HEX table into the first level of the
accumulator stack.
Step 2: Load the starting V-memory location for the HEX table into the accumulator. This parameter
must be a HEX value.
Step 3: Specify the starting V-memory location (Vaaa) for the ASCII table in the HTA instruction.
Helpful hint: — For parameters that require HEX values when referencing memory locations,
the LDA instruction can be used to convert an octal address to the HEX equivalent and load
the value into the accumulator.
