Data Encoding and Addressing
Chapter 6
6-11
In Figure 6.7, the Level 5 address is 260 (decimal), which is too large to
fit in one byte. Therefore, a byte of all 1’s is used to delimit the 2-byte
address value for this level. The value 260 is then coded low byte first.
Note that the last level (Level 6 in this example) must be specified in the
address field even though it is equal to the default value of zero.

Byte 1 Is the flag byte. In this case it indicates that the addresses for Levels 3, 4,
and 6 are specified in the bytes that follow. Default values are used for
Levels 1, 2, and 5.

(Default = 3 for Data Table)
Byte 2 Is the value of the Level 3 address.
Byte 5 Is the high byte of the Level 4 address. Note that Bytes 4 and 5 together give
a value of 260 for the Level 4 address.
Byte 3 Is a delimiter that says the next two bytes are one address.
Byte 4 Is the low byte of the Level 4 address .

Zero Flag Bit for Level:
Byte Byte 6 Is the value of the Level 6 address. Even though it is the default value, it must
be specified because it is the last level in the desired extended address.
