Figure 11. Use of Dual Pointer

a. Bit 2 stuck at 0; this allows to use INC AUXR1 to toggle DPS without changing GF3.

0008 05A2 INC AUXR1 ; switch data pointers

000A E0 MOVX A,@DPTR ; get a byte from SOURCE

000B A3 INC DPTR ;increment SOURCE address

000C 05A2 INC AUXR1 ; switch data pointers

000E F0 MOVX @DPTR,A ; write the byte to DEST

000F A3 INC DPTR ; increment DEST address

0012 05A2 INC AUXR1 ; (optional) restore DPS

INC is a short (2 bytes) and fast (12 clocks) way to manipulate the DPS bit in the AUXR1

SFR. However, note that the INC instruction does not directly force the DPS bit to a par-

ticular state, but simply toggles it. In simple routines, such as the block move example,

only the fact that DPS is toggled in the proper sequence matters, not its actual value.

For example, the block move routine works the same whether DPS is '0' or '1' on entry.

Observe that without the last instruction (INC AUXR1), the routine will exit with DPS in

the opposite state.
