FORCING A PAUSE WITH THE START BUTTON: When the START but-
ton is pressed, a nonmaskable interrupt is generated, and
SADIE responds by displayi~g a PAUSE menu with five choices.
This· is typically done when running a test or test list.
The LIST command, L, displays the current test list. The
DISPLAY command, D? displays the error log previously dis-
cussed. The ERROR command, E, displays a detailed error log
for the current test if it maintains one. The A command
displays a similar detailed error log, but this log is for
ALL tests in the test list. The MONITOR command, M, brings
up a menu of MONITOR commands. MONITOR functions are
described in the following paragraph. The SKIP command, S,
sets a flag which, when read by the test, causes it to cease
execution. SADIE then runs the next line of the test list.
Entering a A sets the same flag, but SADIE terminates execu-
tion of the test list when the test returns control to it.
Entering a <CR> resumes the interrupted process.
NOTE
SADIE cannot a1\lays force an immediate abort of a
test in progress.
MONITOR COMMANDS: The MONITOR provides functions similar to
tho~e of the PROM Monitor. Sp~cified locations in memory
can be. displayed or filled with any single word pattern.
Blocks of memory can be moved, and as a special case, a
multiword pattern can be replicated through a block of
memory. Memory can be stepped through a word at a time,
with optional alteration. Any I/O or" special 1/0 port can
be read and optionally written. Success of reading and
writing depends on the hardware addressed.
5.15. Command Level Test Functions
Stand-alone diagnostics are provided for testing of all
mainframe components. These diagnostics are supplied on the
SADIE tape. Insert this tape into the tape drive and com-
plete the bootstrap procedure (paragraph 5-11). After an in-
troductory message, the COMMAND LEVEL menu will appear on
the display screen as follows:
