User manual - INDICATOR TRS-10a Because of the TRS-10a is dedicated for TRS system, all predefined error codes are compatible to error codes which may occur in this system. Values transmitted to register 02h in „”decimal mode” are limited. Higher byte can be set to: 00h, 2Xh, 4Xh, 8Xh and Fxh, lower byte to 00h, 01h, 02h i 03h.
User manual - INDICATOR TRS-10a Register 05h - operation mode. This register controls operation mode of the module. Value 0000h switches module to "decimal mode", and value 0001h – switches it to "byte mode". Other values can not be stored in this register. After writing to the register 05h, module checks if it's new value is different from previous value.
