5-3 Monitor Mode Commands
Do not disable any interrupts in the assembly language program.
It is recommended that the assembly language program be saved on an ex-
ternal storage device or in the EEPROM for safety.
To enter monitor mode from BASIC mode, key-in "mon" followed by a car-
riage return when the message "READY" is displayed on the console:
READY
mon

When in monitor mode "
when in monitor mode, the BASIC LED on the ASCII Unit front panel is unlit.
To return to BASIC mode, key-in CTRL+B.
Start address refers to the first memory address where a group of values
stored in consecutive memory locations is stored: e.g., an array or a block of
data.
For some monitor mode commands, indicating a start address is optional.
For these commands, the address immediately following the highest or larg-
est address used by the previous monitor command is taken to be the start
address for the current monitor command. To simplify following explanations,
this address will be called the base address.
An assembly language program can be edited, traced, and debugged in
monitor mode.
Note that the address held in the program counter is the base address used
for displaying and writing data when using the monitor commands.
The left and right arrow brackets "<" and ">" that have been previously used
to denote "user supplied text" in BASIC programming format statements are
used as actual operators in monitor mode. Therefore, whenever you see an
arrow bracket character in a monitor mode command, it must be entered as
such. The arrow character is used to delineate address ranges.
For monitor format statements only, left and right parentheses "( )" will be
used to denote user-supplied text.
Brackets "[ ]" still indicate optional entry. Pay close attention to periods ".";
they must be entered as such whenever indicated.
The carriage return key is indicated with
mand, a carriage return must be entered by the user.
Do not insert spaces within a monitor command unless explicitly indi-
cated.
In the following examples, and also on the actual terminal, the "
indicates that the user must enter a command. Lines of text that do not start
*
with " " are generated by the computer in response to a user command.
The following table lists the monitor mode commands with a short description
of each command's function as well as the page number on which its detailed
explanation can be found.
