You can program a 6000 product to read the TM8 thumbwheel switch as two four-digit numbers.

    

	
	Example: TM8 setting  50005000

	
	 

	
	                 ;VAR1=50005000 load TM8 setting 

	
	

	
	VAR2=VAR1/10000  ;VAR2=5000.5000 

	
	

	
	VARB1=VCVT(VAR2) ;convert VAR2 to a binary number(the binary conversion drops everthing to the right of decimal).

	
	

	
	VAR3=VCVT(VARB1) ;convert VARB1 to a decimel number.  

	
	                 ;VAR3=5000 this is the 4 MSDs of the TM8.

	
	

	
	VAR4=VAR2-VAR3   ;VAR4=.5000 

	
	

	
	VAR5=VAR4*10000  ;VAR5=5000 this is the 4 LSDs of the TM8.
