Notation Conventions
The following notation conventions are used throughout Ref Tek
documentation:
Notation Description
ASCII Indicates the entry conforms to the American Standard Code for Information Interchange
definition of character (text) information.
Binary Indicates the entry is a raw, numeric value.
Hex Indicates hexadecimal notation. This is used with both ASCII characters (0 – 9, A – F) and
numeric values.
BCD Indicates the entry is a numeric value where each four bits represents a decimal digit.
FPnIndicates the entry is the ASCII representation of a floating-point number with nplaces fol-
lowing the decimal point.
<n> Indicates a single 8-bit byte. When the contents are numeric, it indicates a hexadecimal
numeric value; i.e. <84> represents hexadecimal 84 (132 decimal). When the contents are
capital letters, it represents a named ASCII control character; i.e. <SP> represents a space
character, <CR> represents a carriage return character and <LF> represents a line feed
character.
MSB Most Significant Byte of a multi-byte value.
MSbit Most Significant Bit of a binary number.
LSB Least Significant Byte of a multi-byte value.
LSbit Least Significant Bit (bit 0) of a binary number.
YYYY Year as a 4-digit number
DDD Day of year
HH Hour of day in 24-hour format
