This example program is handy for familiarizing yourself with the mapping of the SPiceX outputs.

;IDENTOUT.SPT : Sample program to identify which outputs get
;activated from which bytes/bits of U when using the
;SPxTxfr instruction.

;The program sends (up to) the first 8 bytes of RAM
;out to a chain of (say) XBIO16 boards. Byte 0 is counted
;up in binary. The other bytes are statically preloaded
;with their own address, i.e. byte 5 contains binary 5.

********************************************************************
;Set the following constant to reflect the number of bytes of
;data being shifted out.
;
; XBIO16 2 bytes
; MBIO16 2 bytes
; XIRO16 1 byte
; HIO16 1 byte
; FP16 1 byte


ShiftLength EQU 8 ;Minium 5 with standard expansion boards!

**** NOTE ****
;SPiceX mode works only with standard XPice expansion boards when
;there is more than 5 bytes of data. For less than that the
;automatic detection will sense the boards and map them as
;regular I/O.
;With custom expansion boards it may work with fewer than 5 bytes,
;depending on the design of the board. Please consult the board documentation
