Instructions
• The operand (byte) specified by the first address (B1/D 1 ) is tested
against the immediate I field (byte) as a mask. The result determines the
condition code. The I field is used as an eight-bit mask and is made to
correspond one-for-one with the bits of the byte in main memory that is
specified by the first address.
A bit in the byte being examined is said to be selected when the corre-
sponding mask bit is a one. When the mask bit is a zero, the bit in main
memory is ignored.
