2. Reading of memory locations
All memory locations indexed with a line number in the programming scheme enable read out (except the
separating lines that are indexed by dashes).
The protocol: Address Line [] can be used for each line.
The counter response may vary in protocol length from one line to the other, since it depends on the data
length of the respective memory location.
NE216 allows for read out both in RUN and PGM mode. The only difference lies in the counter response
which will come with an "R" or a "P" in the mode parameter, as described in the following.
Response to a Read instruction (general):
identifier line mode data
Mode P= NE216 is in programming (PGM) mode
R= NE216 is in RUN mode
VZ Negative sign, only transferred with negative values
Data max. total of digits, with preceding zeroes w/o decimal point
(Exception: line 6 – with decimal point)
2.1. Examples for reading memory locations
The following applies to the examples below:
Counter address (Identifier) = 35; Counter mode = R (RUN-mode)
