PANAME ROM undocumented functions
Message #1 Posted by Mark Villarino on 7 Dec 2001, 10:03 a.m.

I recently came into possession of a PANAME ROM that came with the original French manual and an English translation. I noticed that some of the functions in the ROM were not covered in the manuals. I managed to figure out all of them except for two: RGORD and RGXTR. If anybody knows what these two functions do, please let me know. I'm in the process of writing a more comprehensive manual and would like to include the descriptions and discussions of these two functions in that manual. Once I'm finished, I'll make it available for free as a .pdf file to anyone that asks for it. If you're curious, I could send out what I have so far, just ask. I can be reached at markv@spectrumchemical.com.

Thanks, Mark V.

RGORD performs some kind of sorting (ORD=order) on a block. RGXTR finds the maximum or minimum value of a block (XTR=extremum). I think that these functions were kept out of the manual because there had bugs inside. Regards.
