Structure - Modifi ers
The IBIN 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 word
temp = 0x0C
serout s_out, i9600, [IBIN temp] ;prints “%1100”
IBIN(#max) variable
#max: optional maximum number of digits to receive
The IBIN 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 the indicator is received, any incoming characters
are ignored. Once the indicator has been received any character not a numeral will cause the
conversion to fi nish before 8 characters have been received.
temp var word
serin s_out, i9600, [IBIN temp]
