Register Offset
The register offset is the register’s location in the block of 64 bytes that
belong to the module. For example, the module’s Status/Control Register
has an offset of 04
16
. When you write a command to this register, the offset
is added to the base address to form the register address:
register_address = base_address + register _offset
Outside the command module:
D200 16 + 04 16 = D204 16
53,760 + 4 = 53,764
In the command module:
1FD200
16
+ 04
16
= 1FD204
16
2,085,376 + 4 = 2,085,380

HP E1418A registers using different computers.
