Details of BASIC Commands
A Format
S Format
With the A format, many words of data from the PC can be stored in a single ASCII Unit variable,
although a maximum of 127 words can be transferred at one time.
Except for the A and S formats, and where a character variable is used as the variable, there must
be a one-to-one correspondence between each word and variable. With the A format, one format
must be used with each variable. With the S format, one format must be used with the variables in
each array.
Except for the A and S formats, and where a character variable is used as the variable, more than
one variable can be associated with a single format.
If the "m" setting is omitted, the default setting is 1 word. The setting range for "m" is 1 to 255.
For numerals it is 1 to 255, for characters it is 1 to 64.
String variables can be used to specify the format, but be sure to use uppercase characters when
specifying the format.
<variable> is any valid variable name. It must be of the same type as specified in the format string
and have as many elements as the number of words specified in the

When the ASCII Unit receives a
data from the data area location specified in IR n+3 and IR n+4 is read and stored in the specified
variables with the indicated pc format. The data is transferred at the next I/O refreshing cycle, and
the ASCII Unit will pause execution of the BASIC program until the data transfer has been
completed.
