8.8.5 ASCII Conversion 1 (ASCII)
(1) Overview
The ASCII command converts the character string specified during command execution into ASCII code and
stores it in the specified register (integer register). Upper and lower case letters can be distinguished from each
other.
The first character and the second character are stored respectively in the lower byte and upper byte of the first
word in order. If the number of characters in the string is odd, the upper byte of the last word in the storage desti-
nation register becomes 0. The number of input characters is up to 32.
Note: The following versions of system software and programming tool MPE720 are required to use an
ASCII command.
