CR10X Reference Manual
A-2
Garbage
When data is sent or received incorrectly (and there are numerous reasons why
this happens) a string of invalid, meaningless characters (garbage) results. Two
common causes are: 1) a baud rate mismatch and 2) synchronous data being sent
to an asynchronous device and vice versa.
Handshake, Handshaking
The exchange of predetermined information between two devices which serves to
indicate that they are correctly connected to each other. When not used as a clock
line, the CLK/HS (pin 7) line in the CR10X is primarily used to detect the
presence or absence of peripherals such as the Storage Module.
High Resolution
A high resolution data value has five significant digits and may range in magni-
tude from ±.00001 to ±99999. A high resolution data value requires two Final
Storage locations (four bytes). All Input and Intermediate Storage locations are
high resolution. Output to Final Storage defaults to low resolution; high resolution
output must be specified by Instruction 78.
Indexed Input Location
An Input location entered as an instruction parameter may be indexed by pressing
C
before it is entered by pressing
A
; two dashes (--) will appear at the right of the
display. Within a loop (Instruction 87), this will cause the location to be in-
cremented with each pass through the loop. Indexing is also used with Instruction
75 to cause an input location, which normally remains constant, to be incremented
with each repetition.
Input Storage
That portion of memory allocated for the storage of results of Input and Process-
ing Instructions. The values in Input Storage can be displayed and altered in the
*6 Mode.
Input / Output Instructions
Used to initiate measurements and store the results in Input Storage or to set or
read control ports.
Instruction Location Number
As instructions are entered in a Program Table, they are numbered sequentially.
The instruction location number gives the location of that instruction in the pro-
gram sequence. When programming a table, the instruction location number and a
P (e.g. 04: P00) prompts you when a new an instruction is expected.
Intermediate Storage
That portion of memory allocated for the storage of results of intermediate calcu-
lations necessary for operations such as averages or standard deviations. You
cannot access Intermediate Storage.
