Applications

USING THE VECTOR OUTPUT I/O MODULE

7.1.

The Vector Output I/O Module can be used in a wide variety of
applications, from simple pattern stimulus to performing bus
cycles such as read and write cycles. Regardless of the
application, five main steps are required to fully use the
capabilities of the module. These are:

1.

Create the vector files using the editor or another source.

2.

From TL/1, use a program to setup the output section.

3.

From TL/1, use a program to setup the input section.

4.

From TL/1, use a program to drive vectors and measure
responses.

5.

From TL/1, use a program to process the results.

Section 6 “Using the Vector Editor” illustrated how to make
vector files. (To make vector files that perform bus cycles, see
“Bus Emulation”, “Testing the IBM CGA Video Card”, and
“68000 Bus Video Application” further on in this section.)

The following example shows a typical program with the four
steps necessary for setting up the output and input sections,
driving vectors and measuring responses, and processing the
results.
