Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve an operating property, by ANDing an instruction execution completion signal and a repetition instructing signal from a controller of an information processor having a console panel which is capable of operating the information processing manually, and starting the execution of an instruction once again. CONSTITUTION:When an operator starts execution of store instruction by operating manually a console panel, a Key is turned on, and ground for starting is provided to an OR circuit G1. A controller CPU fetches an address to be stored, through a bus from a storage device MEM, stores it in an ADRREG (address register), fetches a store data and stores it in a DATREG (data register) temporarily. When the store is completed, the CPU sends a completion signal to an AND circuit G2. On the other hand, when a repetition instructing signal is applied to other terminal of the circuit G2, the circuit G2 provides an output, and restarts the CPU through the OR circuit G1. In this way, since the function of the device is executed repeatedly, the operating property is elevated.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention 0) Disclosed Technical Field This article relates to a control method for a console panel or device when performing operation confirmation and maintenance using the console panel or device of an information processing device〇 (rumored) Technical background - Information processing equipment such as electronic computers and exchanges is equipped with a console panel, which is used to check and maintain the operation of the entire information processing equipment.Console panel equipment includes keys, rungs, switches, etc., and the combination of these By operation, you can set internal registers, memory, remove ribbons, or start a program.
Operations such as stop and step can be performed.

(C) Problems with the Prior Art FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an operation procedure 70 for clarifying the conventional console control method, and this figure shows store operation control.

When a store command is executed from the console panel or device number of the information processing device, the control device works by extracting the address to be stored and then extracting the store data. The control device causes new store data to be written to the corresponding store address of the storage device. When writing to the storage device is completed, the state becomes HALT. When operating the depth of these series of store commands, the console panel device has keys, lamps, and switches to manually check the functions of the device. You can start, stop, and step the program.

However, when using this console operation and operation control to investigate hardware using a measuring instrument, for example, when checking the function of storing information in memory, one method is to store addresses and data from the console panel. While pressing the function instruction key, observe the timing and waveform using the foot probe.

Another method is to store a program for observation in a memory whose operation has been confirmed, start the program, and observe its timing and waveform in column 2. The first method requires the operator to operate the console panel and the side plow, which is not efficient, and the second method allows the operator to concentrate on operating the scooping plow after starting the program. Programs to check the memory required to store the program and the hardware generally have to be programmed directly in machine language, so it is necessary to have a sufficient level of knowledge of the machine language. I often can't get it.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, the present invention has been developed to continuously perform store operations for the address and data by repeatedly issuing a store instruction after setting the address and store data when confirming the write operation of the memory mentioned above. The purpose is to provide a console control method that can perform the following.

9. Structure and object of the invention According to the present invention, in an information processing device equipped with a console panel or a device or a maintenance panel that allows manual operation of the fill information processing device, the control device of the information processing device This is achieved by providing a console control method that allows the control device to be provided with a starting route for command execution again by an AND condition of a command collection completion signal and a repeat instruction signal within 1%.

(F) Embodiments of the Invention Embodiments of the invention will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of the console control system according to the invention. In the same figure, 0Pυ is 餉＠Kaisu, ADR′

IIJ C, S) A Operation end If there is a repeated water adjustment 10, the control operation of the control unit OPU is fed back to the initial state, and the retrieval of the store address and the retrieval of the store data are performed until there are no repeat instructions. Repeat the loading and storing operations.

FIG. 4 shows another application of the present invention, in which a repeat function is added to the store operation by trigger input.

When conducting a hard investigation using measuring instruments without operating the console panel, the console operation is done manually and is often not in sync with the internal workings of the reconnaissance being tested. For this reason, survey data collection can be difficult.

In this method, advantageous operation trigger information for essential data collection is obtained from a single hook of the device under test, and the console is operated based on the timing.

Further, as another example of application, a means for storing 13 or more operations is provided to support these console operations.

Specifically, it instructs the console to store the operation, and then performs the actual store, display, etc. operations. This action sequentially stores the procedure in the console. After a series of operations, the memory instruction is released and the performance is performed.

If this repeated execution is also possible, the same effect as performing a predetermined operation can be obtained and observation can be performed with a measuring instrument.

The same applies to other console operations using this method, and the same applies whether the console control is performed by hardware or software by adding the 10 judgment hocks and 20 repetition signals shown in Figure 3. .

(g) Effects of Takamei As explained in detail above, according to the present invention, in the information department m device, the operation can be controlled manually using a console panel, a device, or a maintenance panel to store, display, etc. Since the functions of the panel or whale turtle can be repeatedly executed, the operability is improved and the difficulty of operating the controls is reduced, which is a great effect.
