What I find useful is using a PAKIN to read the register. That way I can look
at the actual bitmap and see if the expected value is "hidden" in there, either
with swapped or reversed words or bits. I suspect that if you are seeing a 0
value, and the bitmap shows all FALSE's, and you know that there should be a
non-zero value, then the addressing is probably wrong.

Ali,
Thanks for your answer.
We are exchanging 16-bit integer registers.
The FDCVn parameters of the FDIIN blocks are all set to -32768.
In the other 5 cases, the configuration is exactly the same, and they are
working.
