1.0 ABSTRACT
THIS DECSYSTEM 2020 KS-10 BASIC INSTRUCTION DIAGNOSTIC IS
THE SEVENTH IN A SERIES OF DECSYSTEM 2020 KS-10 PROCESSOR
DIAGNOSTICS. THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS THE PUSH, POP, XCT,
AND BASIC SHIFT/ROTATE INSTRUCTIONS.
THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS THE BASIC FUNCTIONALITY OF THE PROCESSOR
AND MICRO-CODE.
2.0 REQUIREMENTS
2.1 EQUIPMENT
A PDP-10 SM10 WITH A MINIMUM OF 32K OF MEMORY
CONSOLE PROCESSOR
CONSOLE TELETYPE
2.2 STORAGE
THE PROGRAM RUNS WITHIN 32K OF MEMORY.
2.3 PRELIMINARY PROGRAMS
CONSOLE FUNCTIONS WORKING PROPERLY

3.0 PROGRAM PROCEDURES
3.1 LOADING PROCEDURE
LOAD VIA CONSOLE PROCESSOR
3.2 STARTING PROCEDURE
STAND-ALONE STARTING ADDRESS IS 30000.
IF THE DIAGNOSTIC FAILS TO START CORRECTLY TRY STARTING AT THE
FIRST TEST INSTEAD OF AT THE BEGINNING OF THE CONTROL SEQUENCE.
(SEE LISTING).
3.3 OPERATING PROCEDURE
ONCE STARTED THE PROGRAM WILL CYCLE CONTINUALLY UNTIL STOPPED
OR AN ERROR OCCURS.
4.0 ERRORS
ERRORS ARE IN THE FORM OF HALT INSTRUCTIONS. THE LISTING
SHOULD BE CONSULTED TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE ERROR. A
NO OPERATION (JUMP) INSTRUCTION FOLLOWS EACH HALT. THIS
MAY BE USEFUL IN CONSTRUCTING A SCOPE LOOP TO CYCLE ON THE
FAILING INSTRUCTION.
5.0 ITERATION COUNTER
THE ITERATION COUNT OF THE PROGRAM CAN BE DETERMINED BY
EXAMINING 30047 "PASCNT".
6.0 CYCLE TIME
THE CYCLE TIME OF THE PROGRAM IS IN THE MILLISECOND RANGE AND
IS THEREFORE SUITABLE FOR TAKING MARGINS, VIBRATION TESTS, ETC.

7.0 OPERATIONAL VARIATIONS
A. DIAGNOSTIC MONITOR
THE PROGRAM IS USABLE WITH THE DIAGNOSTIC MONITOR TO PRO-
VIDE RELIABILITY TESTS, ACCEPTANCE TESTS, AND/OR TO PRO-
VIDE A QUICK METHOD OF ISOLATION OF A FAULT TO A PARTICULAR
AREA OF THE PROCESSOR. CERTAIN PROCEDURES ARE USED WHEN
THE PROGRAM IS USED IN THIS MANNER. THEY ARE:
1. THE DIAGNOSTIC MONITOR TRANSFERS CONTROL TO THE PRO-
GRAM AND STARTS IT AT LOCATION 30002.
2. MONCTL - LOCATION 30043 IS USED AS THE DIAGNOSTIC MON-
ITOR CONTROL FLAG WORD.
B. USER MODE
THE PROGRAM WILL OPERATE IN USER MODE AND AS SUCH PROVIDES
ASSURANCE THAT THE PROCESSOR IS PERFORMING ALL FUNCTIONS
CORRECTLY. USER MODE STARTING ADDRESS IS 30000.
C. SYSTEM EXERCISER
STARTING ADDRESS IS 30003. NO DATA SWITCHES ARE USED BY
THIS PROGRAM.
