WORD Commands
There are four basic forms for the WORD commands:
WORD <word address>
WORD <word-address>
= <word value>
WORD <word-address>
TO <word address>
WORD <wordaddress>
TO cwordIaddress>
= <word-value>
All of these commands can be used whether or not the user's program is running.
WORD <word-address>
This form is used to examine and then possibly change one or more sequential
WORD variables. When this command is invoked iECM-96 will display the
<word-address>
symbolically if a valid symbol exists for that <word-address>.
Whether or not the symbolic display occurs, iECM-96 will display the
<word-address>
in hexadecimal notation, the value of the WORD in the default
base and wait for an input from you. You can respond with a CARRIAGE-RETURN
character, an ESC character, or by entering a numeric value. A CARRIAGE-RE-
TURN will terminate the command. An ESC will result in the display of the next
sequential WORD variable. If a numeric value is entered then the WORD variable
will be set to this value and the iECM-96 will again wait for input. At this point you
can respond only with an ESC or CARRIAGE-RETURN.
As before, the ESC will
display the next sequential WORD and the CARRIAGE-RETURN
will terminate the
command.
WORD <word-address>
= <word-value>
This form is used to set an individual WORD variable without first checking its cur-
rent value. When invoked, this command sets the WORD variable at
<word-address>
to <word-value>.
WORD <word-address>
TO <word-address
>This form is used to display a region of memory as a sequence of WORD vari-
ables. When this command is invoked, iECM-96 will start by displaying the current
default base and then a series of lines showing the contents of the selected memory
region. If a symbol exists in iECM-96's symbol table for the next <word-address>
then this symbol will be displayed. Whether or not the symbolic display happens, the
next line wild start with a hexadecimal display of the address of the next WORD
variable to be displayed followed by the display of up to 16 bytes of memory as
WORD variables in the default base. A new line will be started whenever 16 bytes of
memory have been displayed on the line or a valid symbol exists in iECM-96's
symbol table for the next cword7address>
to be displayed. The command termi-
nates when all of the WORD vanables in the selected range have been displayed.
During lengthy displays you can stop the output to the console by hitting the SPACE
bar, Display can be resumed by hitting the SPACE bar a second time. The com-
mand can be terminated by entering a carriage return.
WORD <word-address>
TO <word address> = <word-value>
This form is used to initialize a region of memory to the given <word-value>.
Note
that this command will take a little over a millisecond (at 9600 baud) for each WORD
loaded. This command can be terminated by entering a carriage return but this
leaves only part of the memory region initialized.
