OS Apps:

Input & Display a Hex String

Overview:

A portion of the SBC30 code has been sliced and edited as  SBC30_TEST_OS_03f.asm for the Input & Display a Hex String function.

The SIM will provide an input of "6" to select the menu item and then the input of "3", "4", "5", "7F" and "0D". The last two are <Delete> and <Enter>. The screen initially shows "345" displayed until the <Delete> is executed so that only "34" are displayed. The <Enter> signifies the end of the input so the app will display the hex string and exit to the main menu.
