3.3.2 Values
The data to the right of the colon after a value name represents the current value of
that item. There are several types of values:
3.3.2.1 Numeric
Values
These values may contain leading zeros. Valid values are separately determined for
each item and are always within a contiguous range. All numeric values carry and
borrow to or from their more significant neighbors. There are three types of numeric
values found within the system:
•
Unsigned Decimal Values
Examples:
23, 07, 123
•
Signed Decimal Values
These values are always indicated by the presence of a plus or minus sign
in front of the numeric value. The plus or minus signs are editable.
Examples:
+07, +7, -123
•
Hexadecimal Values
These values are always unsigned and consist of the digits 0-9, and upper
case letters A-F. Leading zeros are always indicated.
Examples:
003F, FE10
3.3.2.2 Alpha/Numeric
Values
These values can contain up to 96 different characters including ten digits (0-9), upper
and lower case letters and special characters, such as spaces, dashes, etc. There is no
roll-over between digits. (See Table 3-4)

Each multiple choice value has its own list of valid choices. These values are not edit-
able. The choices available may vary with different system configurations.

The values displayed are always the actual values. If a displayed value is
changed in the display, it is immediately changed within the system. If it is
necessary to change back to an original value, the displayed value must be
changed back to the original value.
