SIM4-02 HARDWARE SIMULATOR 1.0 INTRODUCTION The SIM4-02 Hardware Simulator is a program written for the MCS-4 ™ series Micro Computer System. This program will provide interactive control over the debugging of other MCSA ™ programs. The minimum configuration requited is a SI M4-02 prototype card with three 4002 RAMs and a Teletype.
A breakpoint register is associated with the simulated execution mode of operation, allowing the user to pre-set a location which will cause an interrupt before execution. The BREAK key on the teletype may also be used to interrupt execution and some other types of output.
A Accumulator This directive may be used to display and/or alter the contents of the simulated accumulator. A space or comma follow- ing the A will display in binary, the contents of the simulated accumulator. This or the A may be followed either by a new value to be entered, or by a carriage return to end the directive.
5.0 ERROR MESSAGES Most of the errors which can be detected by the simulation program are identified by a single character typeout, followed by ringing the bell once. Six different types of errors are identified this way: CODE SIGNIFICANCE ? This is not a valid directive.
return address using the L directive. That may then be pushed down with the S directive, so that the starting address may be loaded into the first subroutine level, or the process may be repeated up to three times.
the typing of some specializ~d sequences of characters, partial decimal to binary conversion on input, and 6-bit teletype char- acter input with control character checking.
8.0 RAM USAGE The simulation program, to facilitate full usage of the RAM, has organized it into a nominal block of 64 registers, each containing 16 main memory locations and four status locations.
The bank number in the chart above is the value of the accumulator during a DCl instruction, needed to address that bank of RAMs. The port number given corresponds to the number typed out during simulation of the WMP instruction. Register positions 16-19 (Le.

An important point after buying a device Intel SIM4-02 (or even before the purchase) is to read its user manual. We should do this for several simple reasons:
If you have not bought Intel SIM4-02 yet, this is a good time to familiarize yourself with the basic data on the product. First of all view first pages of the manual, you can find above. You should find there the most important technical data Intel SIM4-02 - thus you can check whether the hardware meets your expectations. When delving into next pages of the user manual, Intel SIM4-02 you will learn all the available features of the product, as well as information on its operation. The information that you get Intel SIM4-02 will certainly help you make a decision on the purchase.
If you already are a holder of Intel SIM4-02, but have not read the manual yet, you should do it for the reasons described above. You will learn then if you properly used the available features, and whether you have not made any mistakes, which can shorten the lifetime Intel SIM4-02.
However, one of the most important roles played by the user manual is to help in solving problems with Intel SIM4-02. Almost always you will find there Troubleshooting, which are the most frequently occurring failures and malfunctions of the device Intel SIM4-02 along with tips on how to solve them. Even if you fail to solve the problem, the manual will show you a further procedure – contact to the customer service center or the nearest service center
