LIST GATHER

Function

Report contents of the data gathering buffer.

Scope

Global

Syntax

LIST GATHER [{start}] [,{length}]

LIS GAT [{start}] [,{length}]

where:

• The optional {start} parameter is an integer constant specifying the distance from the

start of the buffer (in words of memory) to begin the listing (0 is the default);

• The optional {length} parameter (after a comma) is an integer constant specifying the

number of words of the buffer to be sent to the host (to the end of the buffer is the

default)

Remarks

This command causes PMAC to report the contents of the data-gathering buffer to the host.

The data is reported as 48-bit long words in hexadecimal format (12 characters per word)

separated by spaces, 16 long words per line.

If neither {start} nor {length} is specified, the entire contents of the buffer will be

reported. If {start} is specified, the reporting will begin {start} words from the

beginning of the buffer. If {length} is specified, the reporting will continue for

{length} words from the starting point.

Example

LIST GATHER. ; reports the whole buffer

LIST GATHER 256 ; skips the first 256 long words

LIST GATHER 0,32 ; reports the first 32 words

LIST GATHER ,32 ; does the same as above

LIST GATHER 64,128 ; skips the first 64 words, reports the next 128
