2) Structures of XGK Instructions.

The basic structure of XGK Instructions is 'Prefix + Basic Instruction + Suffix' structure.
Basic Instruction: Basic Instruction operates 1 word (16 bits) data and its data type is signed
decimal. In some cases, such as MUL (multiplication), although the data size of operand is 1
word data, the result may be 2 words data. And with 1 instruction, more than 2 results may be
created. For example, DIV instruction creates 2 results, the quotient and the remainder, and the
result is stored in 1 word data memory area, respectively.
Prefix: Prefix mainly designates the size or data type of operands. Available characters for
prefix are D (Double word), R (32-bit Floating), L (64-bit Floating), $ (String), B (bit) and G
(Group). Available number of prefix for a basic instruction is 1.
Suffix: Suffix designates the size, data type of operands and condition of execution. Available
characters for suffix are 4(Nibble: 4 bits data size), 8(Byte: 8 bits data size), B(BCD data type),
P(Edge trigger) and U(Unsigned decimal type). And more than 1 suffices are avail for a basic
instruction.
DADDUP D00000 D00002 D00010 => D ADD U P D00000 D00002 D00010
Add Double words of which data are Unsigned integer value at the rising edge of execution
condition.
D: Prefix designating the data size as double word.
ADD: Basic Instruction for addition.
U: Suffix designating the data type as Unsigned decimal.
P: Suffix designating execution condition of rising edge trigger. (Execute 1 time at the rising
edge of execution condition.)
Using suffix P is equal to using the condition with Positive Transition Contact. And it is
recommended that avoiding simultaneous use of Positive Transition Contact and suffix P.

3) Numeric data.
The basic type of Numeric data is Signed Decimal. And the data type of Unsigned Decimal is
designated by the suffix of instruction (U). If hexadecimal type is necessary, 'h' should be added at
the head of numeric data.

Add the data of D00100 and signed decimal 1000 and store the result in D00200.
Add the data of D00100 and hexadecimal 1000 and store the result in D00200.
Add the data of D00100 and unsigned decimal 60000 and store the result in D00200.
