USER GROUP NEWS Issue 3 - Vol 2 PRODUCT INFORMATION PRODUCT INFORMATION SECTION TEK INTRODUCES THE 6140 DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM The 6140 from Tektronix is a complete software and hardware Microprocessor Development System for one or two users. The 6140 consists of the 8561 (two-user s/w development station), the 8540 Integration Unit, the new Tek 4105M Color Graphics Terminal and a complete support package for the microprocessor of your choice.
MDP PRODUCT INFORMATION Issue 3 - Vol 2 USER GROUP NEWS ColorKey+ takes advantage of the intensive ergonomic research conducted at Tektronix and other research sites to determine the optimum application of color to man/machine interraces. The overall ColorKey+ display is subdivided into specific runctional areas, each with color coding geared to optimize user interaction.
USER GROUP NEWS Issue 3 - Vol 2 MDP PRODUCT INFORMATION Bob Ferguson, Product Marketing Manager HIGH-LEVEL LANGUAGE FOR 6140 To further support the 6140 Development System, ~IDL/u, Modular Development Language for Micros, is now available on the 8560 for 8-bit microprocessors, 8080, 8085, and Z80/NSC800. MDL/u, based on the BASIC language, has been expanded specifically to support microprocessor-based product development.
MDP PRODUCT INFORMATION Issue 3 - Vol 2 USER GROUP NEWS Why another High Level Language! What makes a high level language suitable or desirable as a code generating tool for a microprocessor design? The following is an outline of some of the more important features that make a high level language useful as a code generation tool. FITS TEAM DESIGN METHODOLOGY 1. Modularity 2. Self Documenting o Obvious language - Not Convoluted 3.
USER GROUP NEWS Issue 3 - Vol 2 MDP PRODUCT INFORMATION BROAD BUT NOT A LHvIITING LIBRARY SET LIBRARY ELEMENTS MAY BE EASILY REPLACED WITH ELEMENTS THE NEEDS OF THE PROJECT. ~10RE FOCUSED ON The following text describes the Rational language interface to the Modular Development Language. RATIONAL LANGUAGE DESCRIPTION Rational is MDL/u except for one aspect.
MDP PRODUCT INFORMATION Issue 3 - Vol 2 USER GROUP NEWS NESTED IFS Since the statement rollowing an ir or and else can be any Rational statement, this leads immediately to the possibility or another ir or else As a userul example, consider this problem: The variable" r is to be set to -1 ir "x" is less than zero; to + 1 ir "x" is greater than 100, and to 0 otherwise. Then in Rational, we write: ir (x < 0) r=-1 else if (x > 100) r=+1 else r=o In general, the structure ir (... ) else if ( ...
USER GROUP NEWS Issue 3 - Vol 2 MPP PRODUCT INFORMATION This routine will function similarly to the MDL/u statements FORI = 1 TO 100 NEXT I The syntax of the while statement is while (legal MDL/u conditional) Rational statement THE FOR STATEMENT The for statement is another Rational loop, which attempts to carry the separation of loop - body from reason for looping a step further the the while. A for statement allows explicit initialization, extent, and increment steps as part of the statement.
MDP PRODUCT INFORMATION Issue 3 - Vol 2 USER GROUP NEWS THE RETURN STATEMENT The standard MDL/u mechanism for returning from a. function or procedure is to branch to either prend or frend. If a value is returnable by a function it must first be assigned to the function name and the branch to frend. The Rational return statement provides these runctions.
Issue 3 - Vol 2 USER GROUP NEWS MDP PRODUCT INFORMATION BREAK AND NEXT STATEMENT RATIONAL provides a statement for leaving a loop early, and one for beginning the next iteration. break causes an immediate exit from the loop; in effect it is a branch to the statement after loop. next is a branch to the bottom of the loop, so it causes the next iteration to be done. For example this code will exit the loop if "j" is equal to HI.
MDP PRODUCT INFORMATION Issue 3 - Vol 2 USER GROUP NEWS PASCAL LANDS NOW SUPPORTS 68010 TEKTRONIX PASCAL LANDS now supports the 68010 microprocessor.
