BASE number BASE
Classification: Direct processor control
Command Syntax: BASE <radix>
Limits: <radix> = -36 to -2 or 2 to 36
Query Syntax: BASE?
Query Response: <radix>
Description: The BASE command establishes the radix of address and data
parameters passed to or returned from the ADDR, GETA, GETR,
PUTA, PUTR, and CALL instructions. If a negative radix is
specified, then parameters passed to (or returned from) these
functions are assumed to be signed. For example, if BASE= -16,
then the value -1 communicates the value FFFFFFFF hex. The
BASE? query returns the current setting of BASE. The radix
<radix> always is passed and returned in base 10, regardless of
the setting of BASE. BASE is preset to -10 each time the generator
is powered on. Base -10 is the preferred radix. The BASE? query
returns the current setting of BASE.
Note – This command normally will be used only with custom
applications and command files created by Quantum Data.
