This

accord-

ing

to the

X-register

contents.

The

may

be

specified

in

either

of

two forms:

Alpha

To

form,

simply

the

X-register.

To

specify

the

mode

in

the

alpha

form,

key

mode,

and

execute

ASTO

This function will

ignore

any

attempt

to set

the

to

an invalid

specifier

in

the

X-register.

In

this

case,

the

present

mode

will

be

left

unchanged, and

the

error

will

be

reflected

by

the

error

number

returned

by

the

command

ERROR?

(Refer

to

the

description

of

ERROR?

in

Section

8.)

Upon

start-up,

the

default

measurment

mode

of

the

CMT-300

is

the

VDC

mode.

It

remains

in

effect

until

a

MODEX

command

is

executed.

The

active

mode

will

be

stored

in

a

buffer.

The

buffer

is

deleted

the

first

time

the

calculator

is

turned

on

without

the

CMT-300

module

in

place.

Otherwise,

it

remains

intact,

and

the

measurement

mode

defaults

to

the

buffer

contents

when

the

calcula-

tor

is

turned

on.
