Gray bold italics call out menu paths, buttons, tab and file names.

Numerical values

Numbers appear in decimal. Hexadecimal notation ends in subscript h. Objects in the object dictio­nary notate in hexadecimal as <Index>:<Subindex>, non-notated subindices as 00h. Ex­am­ple: 1003h:05h is subindex 5 in object 1003h. And 6040h is subindex 00 in object 6040h.

Bits

Each object bit counts up from LSB (bit number 0), such as data type UNSIGNED8:

Count direction (arrows)

Illustrations always count arrow-wards; both ex­ample objects 60C5h and 60C6h are thus posi­tive.
