1 .5 .6 Listing the Names which are Assigned to Accumulators.
To list the accumulator’s name assignments first access the alpha name routines by entering any code
number in the range 101 to 150. Immediately
ENTER
is keyed the message
ALPHA
is displayed.
Key
AC
to obtain a list of all 50 accumulators together with their code numbers and names. Only the
accumulator’s number and name is listed. This key does not list the accumulated weights.
1 .5 .7 Listing all of the Alpha Names in Memory.
To list all of the names in the GS8920’s Alpha Name table first access the alpha name routines by
entering any code number in the range 101 to 150. Immediately
ENTER
is keyed the message
ALPHA
is displayed. Key
to obtain a list of up to 50 names together with the name’s
reference number. Only names which are not blank spaces are listed.
1 .5 .8 Entering and Changing Alpha Names.
To enter new names into the Alpha Name table or to change existing names, first access the alpha
name routines by entering the number of the name that is to be changed/entered PLUS 100. If the name
whose reference number is 20 is to be changed then enter a code of 120.
Immediately
ENTER
is keyed the message
ALPHA
is displayed. Key
ENTER
to display the
decimal value of the first character of the name.
Decimal values, from the table below, are entered for each of the 12 characters, starting at character 1
which is the leftmost character and finishing at character 12 which is the rightmost character.
Each character is entered by keying in its ASCII decimal value using the numeral keys followed by
ENTER
to save the character and advance to the next character.
The alpha name being entered can be printed during entry by keying
. The
AC
key may be
used to step backwards through the characters and the
CLEAR
key is used to finish the alpha name
entry prior to reaching character 12. Character entry automatically ceases after character 12 with the
GS8920 returning to its normal mode of operation. The new name is automatically saved to memory as
it is entered.
A simple keystroke example follows where the name
12 Paers
is to be corrected to
Pears
. Since the
code number used to access the alpha routines is never saved, it does not matter what accumulator is
active for this procedure.
