Figure 10-2 Calculating S-Register Values
S-REGISTER OPERATION
Enter ATSn? to read a register value, where n=register number for a
decimal value; or ATSn?^ for a hexadecimal value.
For example, to determine the current backspace character enter
ATS5?
The screen will show the ASCII value of the backspace character stored
in register S5.
Changing Register Values
To change an option using ATS commands requires the operator to
precalculate the revised decimal (or hexadecimal) total. Because of the
chance of miscalculating the bit sum, causing unplanned option
changes, writing to an S-register is discouraged. For operators who
prefer this method of option selection a much simplified command that
eliminates the decimal calculation is explained in the Individual Bit
Command section.
