Extended Tektronix Hexadecimal Format, Code 94
The Extended Tektronix Hexadecimal format has three types of records:
data, symbol, and termination records. The data record contains the
object code. Information about a program section is contained in the
symbol record (the programmer ignores symbol records), and the
termination record signifies the end of a module. The data record (see
sample below) contains a header field, a load address, and the object
code. Figure 6-20 lists the information contained in the header field.
Character Values for
Checksum Computation The number of fields in the file will vary, depending on whether a data or
a termination block is sent. Both data and termination blocks have a
6-character header and a 2-to-17 character address.
