    ISO 9001:2000 Cert. N°4500/1 5.8.6.6 Characters coding This paragraph explains the characters coding implemented for PSI compiling (according to ARIB_STD- B24—1_v5.1_E1 and ABNTNBR15606-1). Hereafter the table for the Latin characters coding; each character is codified by a specific hexadecimal value (1 byte). The XBT527-8 Java software decodes automatically the latin characters inserted by user into the right hexadecimal values.
