NAME

       srec_signetics - Signetics file format

DESCRIPTION

       The  Signetics  file  format  is  not  often  used.   The  major  disadvantage  in  modern
       applications is that the addressing range is limited to only 64kb.

   Records
       All data lines are called records, and each record contains the following 5 fields:

                                     ┌──┬──────┬────┬────┬────┬────┐
                                     │: │ aaaa │ cc │ as │ dd │ ss │
--

EXAMPLE

       Here is an example Signetics file
              :B00010A5576F77212044696420796F75207265617B
              :B01010E56C6C7920676F207468726F756768206136
              :B02010256C6C20746861742074726F75626C652068
              :B0300D5F746F207265616420746869733FD1
              :B03D00
       In  the  example above you can see a piece of code in Signetics format.  The first 3 lines
       have 16 bytes of data each, which can be seen by the byte count.  The 4th line has only 13
       bytes, because the program is at it's end there.

       Notice  that  the  last record of the file contains no data bytes, and not even an Address
       Checksum.
