The following diagram shows the basic structure of a stack.

Data region
The following instructions define or act on stack regions. Basically,
PUSH(632) stores data in the next available data word in the stack. FIFO(633)
and LIFO(634) read data from the stack. FIFO(633) reads the first word that
was stored, while LIFO(634) reads the last word that was stored.
The last five instructions are supported by CS1-H, CJ1-H, CJ1M, and CS1D
CPU Units only. SNUM(638) counts the number of data elements (words) in
the specified stack; for example, this instruction could be used to indicate the
number of items on a conveyor. Use the SREAD(639), SWRIT(640),
SINS(641), and SDEL(642) instructions to read, overwrite, insert, and delete
data elements in a stack. For example, when items are being handled on a
conveyor, these instructions can add, remove, or change a data element in
the stack that corresponds to an item on the conveyor.
PUSH(632)
Stores data in the address indicated by the stack pointer and increments the
pointer by one.
Pointer
FIFO(633)
Reads first (oldest) word of data that was stored in the stack, shifts the
remaining data down one word, and decrements the pointer by one.
