In SX Microcontrollers, SX/B Compiler and SX-Key Tool, bean wrote: John, The DATA statement is only useful if you want to read the ID as a string from within your SX/B program. The ID command actually stores the string in a special area of memory that can be read by the SX-Key IDE by using Run->Device->Read. It will read the ID string and put it into the ID box, just above the "PROGRAM" button. Note that the ID string can even be read from an SX chip that is "read protected".
