According to document, in Text mode, the data and address shall send in HEX format, shall not be in ASCII code for each nibble. Either the document shall fix or RTL shall fix.
See descriptions.
The concept of formatting is only relevant when you are providing a value in a text which is obviously ASCII. You can provide the value as decimal, binary, hex, octal, etc. When using TEXT on a keyboard you cannot enter actual values. Can you suggest a better way to describe the field? If you think you have a better description I will correct the document. Thanks, Moti
