65 Register.SeedPRNG This register, having type Long, represents the “seed” value used by the built-in pseudo-random number generator. With a given seed value, the random number generator will always return the same sequence of values. Usually, you wouldn’t want this type of repeatability but for some purposes it is useful. See the descriptions for the System Library routines Rnd() and Randomize() for more details. Register.Timer0Busy Register.Timer1Busy Register.Timer2Busy Register.Timer3Busy Register.Timer4Busy Register.Timer5Busy These Boolean values indicate when the processor’s built-in timers are being used. For example, depending on the model, either Timer0 or Timer2 is used by the Real Time Clock. Your code can pass one of these register values as the parameter to the Semaphore() function in order to get exclusive access to the corresponding timer. See Section 3.7 for more information on Timer use. Register.TimerSpeed1 Register.TimerSpeed2 These two registers, both Byte values, represent the Timer pre-scaler value used by several System Library routines. Setting the value of these registers other than by direct assignment will produce undefined results. See Section 3.7 for more information on Timer use. Register.TaskMain Register.TaskCurrent These UnsignedInteger registers contain the address of the task control block for the Main() task and the current task respectively. The values, which are read-only, can be passed to the various task management functions by using the System Library function CByteArray(). See Section 3.27 for more details on Task Management. Register.StackMargin This Byte value specifies how close to the end of the stack the stack pointer for a task may approach before triggering a stack fault. The default value is 6. See Section 3.11 for more information on Run Time Stack Checking. This built-in is useful only for VM code devices such as the ZX-24. Register.FaultType Register.FaultData Register.FaultData2 These values give information about the last detected system fault. Register.FaultType is a Byte value that indicates the fault type. Register.FaultData and Register.FaultData2 are UnsignedInteger values that provide additional data about the fault. See Section 3.11 for more information on Run Time Stack Checking.
