Description of the
Sample Program
2-2 Getting Started
Before reading this chapter you should already know how the
emulator operates. You should know how to use the Softkey
Interface, and how to control the emulator from within the Softkey
Interface. Refer to the appropriate Emulator Softkey Interface
User's Guide manual to learn about the emulator; then, return to
this manual.
The sample program is used to illustrate analyzer examples. The
sample program is written in assembly language so the
disassembled trace listings will be more meaningful.
The examples in this chapter have been generated using a 68000
(HP 64742) emulator. The sample program is written in 68000
assembly language. (A similar program written in 80186 assembly
language can be found in the HP 64700-Series Emulators Terminal
Interface Reference.)
It is not important that you know 68000 assembly language;
however, you should understand what the various sections of the
program do and associate these tasks with the labels used in the
program.
You are encouraged to rewrite the sample program in the assembly
language appropriate for your emulator. Then, you can use your
analyzer to perform the examples shown in this chapter. Of course,
the output of your commands will be different than those shown
here.
A pseudo-code algorithm of the sample program is shown in figure
2-1.
