BA Register:
Block Start Address
During program processing of the STEP 5 user program, a 20-bit

higher order block (corresponds to the return address). It is the address
of the operation to be processed next.
BR Register:

Example of TDI in the byte
area
:L DH 1234 5678 Load data
:L DH 000E FC00 Load address of flag
: byte FY 0
:TDI A2 Store content of ACCU 2
E FC00 = 34 (The values ’12H’ and ’56H’ from
E FC01 = 78 ACCU 2 are lost)
