Appendix 4
The CPU module represents numeric and alphabetic data using two symbols (states): 0 (off) and 1 (on).
Data represented using these two symbols is called binary number (BIN).
The CPU module can also use hexadecimal (HEX) (each hexadecimal digit represents four binary bits), binary-coded
decimal (BCD), or real numbers.
The following table lists the numeric representations of BIN, HEX, BCD, and DEC (decimal).
