For example, the contents of an offset register can be used to step through a table at some rate (e.g., five locations per step for waveform generation), or the contents can specify the offset into a table or the base of the table for indexed addressing. Each address register, Rn, has its own offset register, Nn, associated with it. Each offset register is preset to $FFFF during a processor reset.
