Explanation
STORE tells the BS2p, BS2pe, and BS2px which program slot to use when a
READ or WRITE instruction is executed. The STORE command only
affects the READ and WRITE instructions.
The STORE command allows a program to access all EEPROM locations
that exist on the BS2p, BS2pe, and BS2px regardless of which program is
running. The READ and WRITE commands can only access locations 0 to
2047 within a single program slot. The STORE command switches the
program slot that the READ and WRITE commands operate on.
The default program slot that the READ and WRITE instructions operate
on is that of the currently running program. The STORE command can be
used to temporarily change this, to any program slot. The change will
remain in effect until another STORE command is issued, or until another
program slot is executed.
