7.4.2.3.2. Stores - reading the DSA-1 display
The Macro may need to obtain data from the DSA-1's display, for example to display
or file a reading, or to range-check it. The Macro Processor has three stores for this
purpose which are loaded using the following Keywords; the stores can be accessed
by other Keywords for checking or displaying the stored data. The user can specify
exactly where on the DSA-1's screen the data is to be read from, using a coordinate
system: the top row is numbered 1, the bottom row 2, and the columns from 1 to 16 (left
to right).
