Figure 10-2. Calculating S-Register Values
S-Register Operation — Sn?, Sn?^
Enter
ATSn?
to read a register value, where
n
= register number for a
decimal value or
ATSn?^
for a hexadecimal value.
For example, to determine the current backspace character enter
ATS5?
The screen will show the ASCII value of the backspace character stored
in register
S5
.
Changing Register Values — Sn=v, Sn=^v
To change an option using
ATS
commands requires the operator to
precalculate the revised decimal (or hexadecimal) total.
Note
Because of the chance of miscalculating the bit sum,
causing unplanned option changes, writing to an S-register
is discouraged. For operators who prefer this method of
option selection a much simplified command that
eliminates the decimal calculation is explained in the
“Individual Bit Command — Sn . # =v” section on
page 10-4.
To change a register value, enter
ATSn=v
where
n
= register number and
v
= decimal value, or enter
ATSn=^v
where
^v
= hexadecimal value.
