A-4 PC208W, Version 3.0, Instruction Manual
EDLOG does not allocate Input Locations
for some instructions.
There are a some instructions that are
exceptions to the way EDLOG allocates Input
Locations and tracks Final Storage. These
instructions may require the user to manually
allocate Input Locations.
Instruction 49 Spatial Maximum
This instruction finds the maximum value from a
“swath” of adjacent Input Locations. It is stored
in the location specified in the third parameter.
This instruction can also return the address
(number) of the location that contained the
maximum. To do this, add 1000 to the location
number for parameter three. For example, the
following instruction stores the maximum value,
found in location 1 (Temp#1) through location 6
(Temp#6), in location 7 (Max_value).
10: Spatial Maximum (P49)
1: 6 Swath
2: 1 First Loc [ Temp#1 ]
3: 7 Max Option [ Max_value ]
Alter the location number for parameter three as
follows, store the maximum value in location 7
(Max_value) and the location address (number)
where the maximum was found in location 8.
10: Spatial Maximum (P49)
1: 6 Swath
2: 1 First Loc [ Temp#1 ]
3: 1007 Max Option [ Max_value ]
Location 8 must be named in the Location
Editor (press <F5>). Use the mouse or
<Ctrl>+left arrow to move the cursor to the
location number while on the third parameter.
Instruction 50 Spatial Minimum
See Instruction 49 Spatial Maximum
Instruction 54 Block Move
1: Block Move (P54)
1: 1 No. of Values
2: 0000 First Source Loc [ _________ ]
3: 00 Source Step
4: 0000 First Destination Loc
[ _________ ]
5: 00 Destination Step
This instruction copies the values in a set of
locations to another set of locations. Using the
STEP parameters (parameters 3 and 5) it is
possible to copy from and/or store to a set of
locations that are not adjacent. For example, a
SOURCE STEP of 2 would copy the values
from every other location. When displaying the
READ and WRITE flags and when allocating
and naming locations written to, EDLOG always
assumes the STEP parameters are set to 1.
This means the user is responsible for naming
and allocating locations if either or both STEP
values are not 1.
Instruction 75 Histogram
2: Histogram (P75)
1: 1 Reps
2: 0000 No. of Bins
3: 00 Form Code Option
4: 0000 Bin Select Value Loc
[ _________ ]
5: 0000 WV Loc Option [ _________ ]
6: 0.0 Low Limit
7: 0.0 High Limit
Leave the fifth parameter set to zero to select a
standard histogram. This will result in a compile
message “Warning: zero is an invalid inloc
address, Line: xx”. In this case the address of
zero is acceptable and the warning can be
ignored. If a weighted value (WV) histogram is
done, an Input Location is specified as usual.
Instruction 23 Burst measurement
This instruction makes a series of high speed
measurements. These measurements are sent
out the serial port or stored in Input Locations.
1: Burst Measurement (P23)
1: 00 Input Channels per Scan
2: 00 Range Option
3: 00 In Chan
4: 0000 Trig/Trig/Dest/Meas Options
5: 0.0 Time per Scan (msec)
6: 0.0 Scans (in thousands)
7: 0000 Samples before Trigger
8: 0.0 mV Limit
9: 0000 mV Excitation
10: 0000 Loc [ _________ ]
11: 1.0 Mult
12: 0.0 Offset
EDLOG does not detect when results are stored
in Input Locations. It does not allocate or name
