BUS MONITOR
7.3.3 Interrupt Queue Pointer Register (06)
If interrupt blocks are generated the onboard RAM location at the top of the interrupt queue
is written to this register.
7.3.4 Next Message Record Block Register (02)
The onboard RAM address of the start of the message record block is written to this register.
As messages are captured, the contents of this register are automatically updated to point to
the next message record block to be used.
7.3.5 Control Register (00)
The Start Bit of this register is set to begin execution of the message record blocks. Either or
both buses (Bit 7, Bus A = 1. Bit 8, Bus B = 1) can be enabled for monitoring.
7.3.6 High Priority Interrupt Enable Register (07) and Standard Interrupt
Enable Register (09)
Interrupts are enabled/disabled by writing to these registers.
7.3.7 Reset Timer Register (13)
This register resets the bus monitor time tag counter to 0.
7.3.8 Remote Terminal Address Register (10)
Bit 6 must be cleared to 0 prior to starting the bus monitor.
7.4 Collecting Data
To ensure data stored in memory is not overwritten, write data to disk and generate
interrupts during message intervals. For example, you have 2,000 Message Record Blocks
with an interrupt generated every 500 blocks. (The Interrupt Bit for Blocks 500, 1,000,
1,500 and 2,000 is set. If, upon interrupt, a message is stored in any of the blocks, the
present block and the previous 499 blocks are written to disk.
The Message Record Blocks and data buffers maintain a one-to-one relationship. The order
of your memory might be:
Message Record Block 1
or
Message Record Block 1
Message Record Block 2
Data Buffer 1
Data

7.5 Post-Run Processing
Interrupts are generated so that the user can examine each message. The nature of each
interrupt should also be examined to determine if an interrupt was expected and if not, why
did an interrupt occur?
Look for the following important information in the Message Record Block:
• Bit 15 of the control word is set and the block contains a message.
