CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
D60SPD is a DECsystem-10 program to measure DN60
performance. The following functions are available:
1. Line width
2. Buffer size
3. Beginning address of the buffer in relation to a
page boundry
4. Number of bytes per buffer
5. Carriage control character
6. Character range when doing output using the
internal ripple pattern character generator
7. Use of internal character generator or a disk file
for output
8. Destination of the input data - whether to a device
or the bit bucket
CHAPTER 2
COMMANDS
D60SPD uses a verb type command decoder and dispatches to
the appropriate routine to perform the command. Parameters
which must be set before issuing commands to the DN60
include the DN60 number, (or DL10 port number), line number,
and the device number. Once any one of these is set it
remains set unless changed by a command, so therefore once
they are set it will not be necessary to include these in
any commands, unless a change is desired. The following is
a list of available commands:
ABORT abort input and/or output
AUTO execute D60SPD commands from a file
DDT enter DDT if it is loaded
EOF send a EOF if doing output
EXIT exit D60SPD
HELP type D60SPD.HLP
INPUT receive input from the DN60
NOTYPE ignore any typeahead during runtime
OUTPUT output to the DN60
PARAM print out the CAL11. parameter block
RESTART restart D60SPD
SET perform setup and issue commands
STATUS read DN60, line, and device status
TYPEAH allow typeahead during runtime
WHAT print port number, line number, and device
number
CHAPTER 3

sending an EOF.
/OFFSET:d The word in the data buffer where data
transfers begin, or the word used when
calculating the the first byte position.
/TIME:d The time in seconds between statistic
reports. The default is 10 seconds. A time
of 0 specifies no statistic reports are to be
made.
/WIDTH:d The width of a line when using the internal
character generator. The default is 132.
5.2 FILE SPECIFICATION
On output if the file specification is not included the
output is generated using an internal character generator
that generates output in the form of a ripple pattern.
example:
ABCD
BCDE
CDAB
DABC
On input if the file specification is not included the input
is placed in a "bit-bucket".
If part of the file specification is missing it is given a
default as shown below:
INPUT OUTPUT
DEV: DSK DSK
FILENAME INPUT OUTPUT
EXTENSION IN JOB
P,PN OWN OWN
5.3 STATISTIC REPORTS
The following is a description of the statistic report that
is generated:

CHAPTER 6
THE OTHER COMMANDS
6.1 ABORT COMMAND
form ABORT/PORT:pn/LINE:ln/DEVICE:dn/INPUT and/or
/OUTPUT/WAIT or /NOWAIT
The ABORT command is used to issue Input and/or Output abort
commands to the DN60, and optionally wait for the abort
sequence to complete by using the /WAIT switch. The port,
line, and device numbers must be set prior to issuing the
ABORT command or they can be set by using the /PORT, /LINE,
and /DEVICE switches. The default is both /INPUT and
/OUTPUT and /NOWAIT.
examples:
ABORT/INPUT/OUTPUT
ABORT/INPUT/OUTPUT/WAIT
ABORT/INPUT/OUTPUT/NOWAIT
ABORT/WAIT
ABORT/NOWAIT/PORT:2/LINE:3/DEVICE:1
6.2 AUTO COMMAND
The AUTO command is used to execute a sequence of D60SPD
commands contained in a DSK file. The default filename is
D60SPD.ATO.
examples:
AUTO
AUTO DSKE:CMD.FIL[123,456]
AUTO DSKZ:D60.ATO[234,5670,ONE,TWO,THREE,FOUR,FIVE]
THE OTHER COMMANDS Page 6-2
6.3 DDT COMMAND
The DDT command is used to enter DDT if DDT was loaded with
D60SPD. If this command is given and DDT was not loaded, a
warning message will be given. Once in DDT if GOBACK$G or
POPJ P,$X is given D60SPD will resume.
example:
DDT
6.4 EOF COMMAND
The EOF command is used to send an EOF while doing output.
If this command is given at another time it is ignored.
example:
EOF
6.5 NOTYPEAHEAD COMMAND
The NOTYPEAHEAD command is used to ignore commands given
during runtime. Once this command is given the only way to
reverse it is with the TYPEAHEAD command when in the idle
loop. If NOTYPEAHEAD is set it is advised to use the
/NUMCHR switch with the OUTPUT command as the EOF command
would be ignored and the only way to terminate output would
be to control-C D60SPD.
example:
NOTYPEAHEAD
6.6 EXIT COMMAND
The EXIT command is used to return to monitor mode from
D60SPD.
example:
EXIT
THE OTHER COMMANDS Page 6-3
6.7 PARAM COMMAND
The PARAM command is used to type out the contents of the
CAL11. UUO parameter block.
example:
PARAM
6.8 RESTART COMMAND
The RESTART command is used to restart D60SPD. This would
be the equivalent of doing:
^C
^C
START
example:
RESTART
6.9 TYPEAHEAD COMMAND
The TYPEAHEAD command is used to enable D60SPD to accept
typeahead during runtime. This command is the reverse of
the NOTYPEAHEAD command but once NOTYPEAHEAD is set D60SPD
must be in the idle loop before it will accept the TYPEAHEAD
command.
example:
TYPEAHEAD
6.10 WHAT COMMAND
The WHAT command is used to display the currently selected
PORT, LINE, and DEVICE numbers.
example:
WHAT
CHAPTER 7
INTERNAL PROGRAM OVERVIEW
D60SPD uses a verb type command decoder. The command is
read and checked for exactness and uniqueness and dispatches
to the appropriate routine to further process the command.
The SET and STATUS commands will further dispatch to another
routine based upon the function they are to perform. During
INPUT or OUTPUT, checks are made to see if a command may be
pending and if so it will be executed, and the INPUT or
OUTPUT operation will be continued, (unless or course the
command was ABORT, DDT, EXIT, or RESTART). This allows one
to examine status or issue commands while running without
the need for an additional job. A simple flow diagram is
shown below.

CHAPTER 8
COMMAND AND SWITCH TABLES
All command and switch names are contained in tables with
the corresponding address table immediately following the
sixbit name table. These tables are all built by defining a
NAMES macro which contains the commands or switches, an
address and a value to indicate whether to dispatch or to
store a value from a switch. Calling the BUILD macro after
defining the NAMES macro will build the names table and the
address table.
8.1 NAMES MACRO
format:
DEFINE NAMES,<
SWT NAME,ADDRESS,CODE,DEFAULT VALUE
>
where:
SWT is the macro name used by the BUILD
macro
NAME is the switch or command name
ADDRESS is the address to dispatch to or store a
value in
CODE is a number that informs what action the
command decoder is to perform
0 check switch has a colon before
dispatching to ADDRESS
1 store SIXBIT arg in ADDRESS
2 store DECIMAL arg in ADDRESS
3 store OCTAL arg in ADDRESS
4 dispatch to ADDRESS without
checking for a colon
5 store SIXBIT arg in T1 and dispatch
to ADDRESS
6 store DECIMAL arg in T1 and
COMMAND AND SWITCH TABLES Page 8-2
dispatch to ADDRESS
7 store OCTAL arg in T1 and dispatch
to ADDRESS
1X print a CRLF when doing the auto
file and the value for X is 0-7 as
above
DEFVAL is the default value that will be filled
into ADDRESS if the CODE is 1-3. (This
is only used in the INPUT/OUTPUT
routine.
example:
Define NAMES,<
SWT HELP,HLP,4
SWT BUFSIZ,SIZE,2
>;End define NAMES
8.2 BUILD MACRO
The BUILD macro is called immediately following the
definition of the NAMES macro to build the sixbit table of
names, the address table, and the optional default value
table.
format:
BUILD (PREFIX,NAME,DISPATCH,DEFAULT)
where:
PREFIX is the prefix attached to:
TAB for the table of sixbit names
DSP for the address table
DEF for the default value table
and the suffix attached to .NM which will be the
symbol which represents the length of the table of
names.
NAME if non-blank will generate the table of names
DISPATCH if non-blank will generate the address
table
DEFAULT if non-blank will generate the default
value table
example:
COMMAND AND SWITCH TABLES Page 8-3
BUILD (CMD,NAM,DSP,DEF)
