FUNCTION

TYPE

EX

Execute Program

Program Instruction

DESCRIPTION

Execute program at a specified address or label using a selected trace mode. Used in immediate mode.

There are three modes of program execution.

Mode 0 Normal execution, is specified by a mode of 0 (or simply leaving the mode blank).

Mode 1 Trace mode is specified by a mode of 1. This means that the program executes continuously until the program END is encountered, but the instructions are “traced” to the communications port so the user can see what instructions have been executed.

Mode 2 Single step mode is specified by a mode of 2. In this mode, the user can step through the program using the space bar to execute the next line of the program. The program can be resumed at normal speed in this mode by pressing the enter key.

USAGE

MODES

EX <addr/label>,<mode>

<mode> = 0: run program normally

 

<mode> = 1: run program in trace mode

 

<mode> = 2: run program in single-step mode

EXAMPLE:

 

EX 127

‘execute program at line 127 normally

EX 127,1

‘execute program at line 127 in trace mode
