FNC 83 – HEX / ASCII to Hexadecimal Conversion
Outline
This instruction converts ASCII codes into hexadecimal codes.
On the other hand, DABIN (FNC260) instruction converts ASCII codes into binary data, and EVAL (FNC117)
instruction converts ASCII codes into binary floating point data.
→
For DABIN (FNC260) instruction, refer to Section 29.5.
→
For EVAL (FNC117) instruction, refer to Section 18.5.

Explanation of function and operation
1. 16-bit operation (HEX and HEXP)
Among the ASCII codes stored in
and later, "n" characters are converted into hexadecimal codes, and
then stored to the devices
and later.
The 16-bit mode and 8-bit mode are available for this instruction. For operation in each mode, refer to the
proceeding pages.
