Structure - Modifi ers
The SBIN modifi er, in output commands, converts stored values to ASCII characters. The example
will format the value of temp so it prints out the number in a terminal window. The output would
display 1100.
temp var sword
temp = -0x0C
serout s_out, i9600, [HEX temp] ;prints “-1100”
SBIN(#max) variable
#max: optional maximum number of digits to receive
The SBIN modifi er, for input commands, formats incoming ASCII characters into a numeric value. The
example will read in ASCII characters that represent hexidecimal numbers up to 8 characters long
and store the converted value in a variable. Until a negative sign or numeral is received (e.g. “0” to
“1”) any incoming characters are ignored. Once a numeral has been received any character not a
numeral will cause the conversion to fi nish before 8 characters have been received.
