NORD-50 monitor: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 21:20, 19 April 2014

The NORD-50 monitor is a subsystem in the SINTRAN operating system, supervising execution of NORD-50 programs.^[1]

To use the monitor, it must have been loaded into SINTRAN as an RT program. The monitor is then started under SINTRAN by typing

 @N-50

on a terminal connected to the system.

Main tasks^[1] of the monitor are:

loading programs from files into NORD-50 memory. These programs must have an executable format prepared by the NORD-50 loader. (:NOR5)
starting the programs.
reporting errors during program execution.
examining the NORD-50 registers / memory after the programs have come to a stop (normal or abnormal stop).

The '*' is written by the monitor.^[2]

*PLACE <file name or number>: load a program
*RUN: Start execution of the placed program
*LOAD <file name or number>: Load and start execution of a program, in effect PLACE and RUN
*GO TO <address>: start in given address
