USER’S GUIDE
Glossary
Absolute Section
A section with a fixed (absolute) address that cannot be changed by the linker.
Access Memory (PIC18 Only)
Special registers on PIC18XXXXX devices that allow access regardless of the setting
of the Bank Select Register (BSR).
Address
Value that identifies a location in memory.
Alphabetic Character
Alphabetic characters are those characters that are letters of the arabic alphabet
(a, b, …, z, A, B, …, Z).
Alphanumeric
Alphanumeric characters are comprised of alphabetic characters and decimal digits
(0,1, …, 9).
ANSI
American National Standards Institute is an organization responsible for formulating
and approving standards in the United States.
Application
A set of software and hardware that may be controlled by a PICmicro microcontroller.
Archive
A collection of relocatable object modules. It is created by assembling multiple source
files to object files, then using the archiver to combine the object files into one library
file. A library can be linked with object modules and other libraries to create executable
code.
Archiver
A tool that creates and manipulates libraries.
ASCII
American Standard Code for Information Interchange is a character set encoding that
uses 7 binary digits to represent each character. It includes upper and lower case
letters, digits, symbols and control characters.
Assembler
A language tool that translates assembly language source code into machine code.
Assembly Language
A programming language that describes binary machine code in a symbolic form.
Asynchronous Stimulus
Data generated to simulate external inputs to a simulator device.
Breakpoint, Hardware
An event whose execution will cause a halt.
