I have the bit numbers to correspond with error flags that I want to add to my ALDL but I don't read hex and haven't been able to determine the corresponding byte numbers. These are for the flags in the ALDL monitoring... They are called ALDL bits in the Definition Editor.

0249 is Byte 3 (found this one in the definition)

What are the byte numbers for
024A (hex)
024B
024C
024D

Thanks in advance

Cool... I get it. The problem is the more I know the more I come to realize that I need to know more (The more I know the less I know).

Funny how things like this tease the brain. I can convert hex to decimal, so if I put my "Basic" hat on (from highschool) I assume that these are the like the line numbers in the program.... I think I am mixing apples and oranges.

I need to look at the ALDL datastream to find the correct Bytes. Right?

I know a Byte is 8 bits. I can see in the 8D hack that the flags are divided into 4 different bytes. I found one flag with the Byte assigned in the ALDL definition, it is Byte 3. I assume this corresponds to the 3rd byte in the ALDL datastream. I also noticed that the $8D ALDL byte assignments are different than the $88 Bytes (both on a 7730).

So how do I decipher the ALDL bytes and bits? Am I on the right track??? It seems like I am thinking my self in circles.

 

Well I think I got it figured out. I found the ALDL stream in the hack and tracked down the bytes (In the ALDL stream!).

This was only possible because of all the hard work that went into providing a good hack! Many thanks to all who contributed.

Thanks Mangus for pointing me down the path. The double byte thing was a little hard to figure out at first. One thing lead to another... Unfortunately, I now have a desire to hack. Oh well maybe next winter
