Table Base Register (TBR)
The Table Base Register (TBR) designates the table containing the entry address for
"EIT" operations.
■ Overview of the Table Base Register
The Table Base Register (TBR) designates the table containing the entry address for "EIT" operations.
When an "EIT" condition occurs, the address of the vector reference is determined by the sum of the
contents of this register and the vector offset corresponding to the "EIT" operation.
Figure 3.3-7shows an example of the operation of the table base register.
