9.13 Convenient Usage of Devices
9.13.2 Local device
● All of the devices that have not been set as local devices ( Section 9.13.2) are global devices.
● For execution of multiple programs, the range to be shared by all programs and the range to be used independently by
each program ( Section 9.13.2) must be specified in advance.
9.13.2Local device
The local device is a device that can be used independently for each program.
Using local devices allows programming of multiple independently-executed programs without considering other
programs.
Note that local device data can be stored in the standard RAM and a memory card (SRAM) only.
