Lab Activity 1 / 15
Step Instructions Snapshot / Answer Marks
1. In the compiler window, check only the boxes Screenshot /1
Generate code, Enable optimizer and
Redundant Code. Enter the following source code
and compile it:

program Vectors
sub IntVect1 intr 1
writeln ("This is intr 1")
end sub
sub IntVect2 intr 2
writeln ("This is intr 2")
end sub
sub IntVect5 intr 5
writeln ("This is intr 5")
end sub
while true
wend
end

2. In the compiled code window locate the Screenshot /1

subroutines IntVect1, IntVect2 and IntVect5.

Make a note of the starting addresses of these

subroutines below:
Answer:
Table 1 Table 1
Subroutine Starting address Subroutine Starting address
IntVect1 IntVect1
IntVect2 IntVect2 /3
IntVect5 IntVect5

3. Next, do the following: Screenshot /2

i. Load the code generated in CPU memory.
ii. Click on the INTERRUPTS button to view
the INTERRUPT VECTORS window.
iii. Make a note of the numbers displayed in
text boxes next to INT1, INT2 and INT5. Answer:
Table 2 Table 2
Interrupt Interrupt
INT1 INT1 /3
INT2 INT2
INT5 INT5

4. Now, follow the instructions below: Screenshot /5

i. Click on the INPUT OUTPUT button to view
the console window.
ii. Select Stay on top boxes both in the console
and the interrupt vectors windows.
iii. Reset the Vectors program and run it at the
fastest speed.

 iv. While the program is running, click the
TRIGGER buttons in the interrupts window
against INT1, INT2 and INT5 one after the
other.
v. Observe the messages displayed on the
console.

Step Instructions Answer Marks

1. Enter the following source code in Screenshot /3
a new source editor and compile it.

program PolledInt
var v integer
v=0
writeln("Program Starting")
while true
read(nowait, v)
for i = 1 to 100
if v > 0 then
break *
end if
write(".")
next
wend
writeln("Program Ending")
end

2. Next, follow the instructions below: Screenshot /6

i. Load the code generated in
CPU memory.
ii. Set the speed of simulation to
the maximum.
iii. Bring the console window up
(use the INPUT OUTPUT
button).
iv. Check the Stay on the top
check box on the Console.
v. Click in the INPUT box on the
Console.
vi. Start the simulation by clicking
the CPU Simulator’s RUN
button. As soon as the
Program Starting message is
displayed on the Console, type
any single character in the
INPUT box of the Console.
vii. Wait until the program
terminates.

3. Next, enter the following source Screenshot /3

code in a new source editor and
compile it.

program VectoredInt
var v integer
sub InputInt intr 1
read(nowait, v)
end sub
v=0

writeln("Program Ending")
end

4. Next, follow the instructions below: Screenshot /3

i. Load the code generated in
CPU memory.
ii. Reset and run this code at the
fastest speed.
