zkw

zkw — Writes to a zk variable at k-rate without mixing.

Description

Writes to a zk variable at k-rate without mixing.

Syntax

zkw kval, kndx

Performance

kval -- value to be written to the zk location.

kndx -- points to the zk location to which to write.

zkw writes kval into the zk variable specified by kndx.

Examples

Here is an example of the zkw opcode. It uses the file zkw.csd.

Example 1272. Example of the zkw opcode.
