START
The START command starts instruction execution at the address you specify. If no address
is given, the current PC is used. If memory mapping is enabled, macro instructions are
executed from virtual memory, and the address is treated as a virtual address. The START
command is equivalent to a DEPOSIT to PC, followed by a CONTINUE. It does not
perform a processor initialization.
Format:
START [{address}]
Arguments:
[address]
The address at which to begin execution. This address is loaded into
the user's PC.
Example:
>>> START 1000
TEST
The TEST command invokes a diagnostic test program specified by the test number. If
you enter a test number of 0 (zero), all tests that are allowed to be executed from the
console terminal are executed. The console accepts an optional list of up to five additional
hexadecimal arguments.
You can see a full listing of all the tests by running test 9E.
Format:
TEST [{test_number} [{test_arguments}]]
Arguments:
{test_number}
A two-digit hexadecimal number specifying the test to be
executed. Test 9E displays a full list of all the available tests
and their parameters.
{test_arguments}
Up to five additional test arguments. These arguments are
accepted, but the console cannot interpret them.
