MNEMONIC FUNCTION TYPE
EX Execute Program Program Instruction
DESCRIPTION
Execute program at a specified address or label using a selected trace mode. Used in immediate mode.
There are three modes of program execution.
Mode 0 Normal execution, is specified by a mode of 0 (or simply leaving the mode blank).
Mode 1 Trace mode is specified by a mode of 1. This means that the program executes continuously until
the program END is encountered, but the instructions are “traced” to the communications port so the
user can see what instructions have been executed.
Mode 2 Single step mode is specified by a mode of 2. In this mode, the user can step through the program
using the space bar to execute the next line of the program. The program can be resumed at normal
speed in this mode by pressing the enter key.
