XXDP+   SUPERVISOR HSAA

ABSTRACT :
This page will give you a short description about the XXDP+ SUPERVISOR.

OPERATING PROCEDURES :
Some newer diagnostics like the RL11/RL01/RL02 are calling up first the SUPERVISOR before executing.
The diagnostic program is loaded in the lower 8K of memory. The diagnostic supervisor code occupies 6.25K of the upper part of memory just below the XXDP+ monitor which resides in the uppermost 1.5K of memory space.
(normally from 26.6 to 28k if avail.)

When you load one of this newer diagnostics control goes first to the supervisor portion, which will identify himself :

DIAG. RUN-TIME SERVICES REV D   APR-79
CZRLI-C-0                       (writes the test and REV to be run)
CZRLI TESTS THE RL01-02 INTERFACE AND BASIC ...
UNIT IS RL01-RL02
DR>

Valid commands are :

STA/FLAGS:    start test initially
RES/PASS:     restart after ^C (back to pass 0)
CON/TESTS:    continue where stopped after a ^C
PRO/FLAGS:    proceed after a error halt
DRO/UNITS:    drop unit from testing
ADD/UNITS:    add unit for testing
PRI           print all statistic tables accumulated
DIS/UNITS:    the hardware P-tables are printed
FLA           the current flag-settings are printed
ZFL           all flags are cleared
The flags are: 
HOE    halt on error, causing command mode
LOE    loop on error, causing diagnostic to loop
IER    inhibit error reporting
IBE    inhibit basic error reports
IXE    inhibit extended error reports
PRI    direct all messages to the line printer
PNT    print number of test being executed
BOE    bell on error
UAM    run in unattended mode, bypass manual intervention
ISR    inhibit statistical reports
IDU    inhibit dropping of units by diagnostics
