The instruction will be executed once per scan, provided the input remains on. The function
parameters are loaded into the first level of the accumulator stack and the accumulator by two
additional instructions. Listed below are the steps necessary to program the Remove From
Table function.
Step 1: Load the length of the table (number of V-memory locations) into the first level
of the accumulator stack. This parameter must be a HEX value, 0 to FF.
Step 2: Load the starting V-memory location for the table into the accumulator.
(Remember, the starting location of the table is used as the table length
counter.) This parameter must be a HEX value.
Step 3: Insert the RFT instructions which specifies destination V-memory location
(Vaaa). This is where the value will be moved to.
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.
Helpful Hint:
— The instruction will be executed every scan if the input logic is on. If you do
not want the instruction to execute for more than one scan, a one-shot (PD) should be used
in the input logic.
Helpful Hint:
— The table counter value should be set to indicate the starting point for the
operation. Also, it must be set to a value that is within the length of the table. For example, if
the table is 6 words long, then the allowable range of values that could be in the table counter
should be between 1 and 6. If the value is outside of this range or zero, the data will not be
moved from the table. Also, a one-shot (PD) should be used so the value will only be set in one
scan and will not affect the instruction operation.
NOTE: Status flags (SPs) are only valid until another instruction that uses the same flag is executed,
or the end of the scan The pointer for this instruction can be set to start anywhere in the table. It is not
set automatically. You must load a value into the pointer somewhere in your program.

Remove from Table (RFT)
The Remove From Table instruction pops a value off a table
and stores it in a V-memory location. When a value is removed
from the table all other values are shifted up 1 location. The first
V-memory location in the table contains the table length counter.
The table counter decrements by 1 each time the instruction is
executed. If the length counter is zero or greater than the maximum
table length (specified in the first level of the accumulator stack) the
instruction will not execute and SP56 will be On.
