Reading a status register returns a value. The binary equivalent of the returned value indicates which
register bits are set. The least significant bit of the binary number is bit B0, and the most significant bit
is bit B15. For example, if a value of
2.04
(which is 20,480) is read as the value of the
condition register, the binary equivalent is 0101 0000 0000 0000. This value indicates that bit B14
(
PROGRAM_RUNNING
) and bit B12 (USER) are set.
