System Option Words System Option Words The configuration of a specific eV+ system can be determined by examining two "option words" that are displayed (as hexadecimal numbers) when the system is loaded from the system boot disk, and by the ID monitor command. The values of the option words are also available to programs from the real-valued functions ID(5) and ID(6). The option words should be interpreted as bit fields, which indicate information about the system configuration. The interpretations of the bits in the first system option word [returned by the function ID(5)] are described in the following table.
