I0 To Ie Index Registers - Panasonic FP7 Series Command Reference Manual

2.6 Description of the memory area

2.6.11 I0 to IE Index registers

■
How index registers work
● Index registers are used to indirectly specify constants and memory area addresses.
● Depending on the values of the index register, changes to addresses and constants are
called "index modification".
● Fifteen 32-bit registers are available for I0 to IE.
■
Notes on using index registers
● When the result of an address modifier exceeds the range for the memory area, an operation
error occurs.
Example) When the result of the modifier is an address with a negative value or value that is
too large
■
Values that can be modified with index registers
● Number of the memory area used for a basic instruction
● Slot number or memory area number
● Number of the memory area used for a high-level instruction
● Value of the constant specified for a high-level instruction
● K constant (16-bit, 32-bit)
● U constant (16-bit, 32-bit)
● H constant (16-bit, 32-bit)
■
Value that cannot be modified with index registers
● Floating point data
● Depending on the instruction, index modification cannot be applied to some operands. Refer
to the "Available devices" section of the description page for each instruction.
● An index register (I0 to IE) occupies a 32-bit area.

How to apply index modification
<Example 1> Modifying a transfer destination
The address in the data register (DT) for the transfer destination varies according to the value
of DT0.
