BASE number BASE
Classification: Direct processor control
Command Syntax: BASE
Limits: = -36 to -2 or 2 to 36
Query Syntax: BASE?
Query Response:
Description: The BASE command establishes the radix of address and data
parameters passed to or returned from the ADDR, GETA, GETR,
PUTA, PUTR, and CALL instructions. If a negative radix is
specified, then parameters passed to (or returned from) these
functions are assumed to be signed. For example, if BASE= -16,
then the value -1 communicates the value FFFFFFFF hex. The
BASE? query returns the current setting of BASE. The radix
always is passed and returned in base 10, regardless of
the setting of BASE. BASE is preset to -10 each time the generator
is powered on. Base -10 is the preferred radix. The BASE? query
returns the current setting of BASE.
Note – This command normally will be used only with custom
applications and command files created by Quantum Data.
