DEVICE EXPLANATION
10.10.1 Local pointerNote28
(1) Definition
Local pointers are pointers which can be used independently in program jump
instructions and subroutine call instructions.
The same pointer No. can be used in each of the programs.
(2) Number of local pointer points
Local pointers can be divided among all the programs stored in the program memory.
The local pointer No. ranges from P0 to the highest No. of the local pointer in use.
(The CPU module OS computes the number of points used.)
Even if only P99 is used in a program, for example, the number of points used will be
counted as 100 between P0 and P99.
When local pointers are used at several programs, the pointer settings should begin
from P0.

Note10.26
Since the Basic model QCPU cannot execute multiple programs, it is irrelevant to the difference
between local pointers and common pointers.
When the Basic model QCPU is used, it is not necessary to be conscious of the description in
this section.
