Description When the execution condition is OFF, ASFT(17) does nothing and the program
moves to the next instruction. When the execution condition is ON, ASFT(17) is
used to create and control a reversible asynchronous word shift register be-
tween St and E. This register only shifts words when the next word in the register
is zero, e.g., if no words in the register contain zero, nothing is shifted. Also, only
one word is shifted for each word in the register that contains zero. When the
contents of a word are shifted to the next word, the original word’s contents are
set to zero. In essence, when the register is shifted, each zero word in the regis-
ter trades places with the next word. (See Example below.)
The shift direction (i.e. whether the “next word” is the next higher or the next low-
er word) is designated in C. C is also used to reset the register. All of any portion
of the register can be reset by designating the desired portion with St and E.
Control Word Bits 00 through 12 of C are not used. Bit 13 is the shift direction: turn bit 13 ON to
shift down (toward lower addressed words) and OFF to shift up (toward higher
addressed words). Bit 14 is the Shift Enable Bit: turn bit 14 ON to enable shift
register operation according to bit 13 and OFF to disable the register. Bit 15 is the
Reset bit: the register will be reset (set to zero) between St and E when
ASFT(17) is executed with bit 15 ON. Turn bit 15 OFF for normal operation.
Control word value Function
#4000 Shifts upward (towards higher addressed words).
#6000 Shifts downward (towards lower addressed words).
#8000 Clears the contents of St through E to #0000.
Flags ER: The St and E words are in different areas, or St is greater than E.
Indirectly addressed DM word is non-existent. (Content of DM word is
not BCD, or the DM area boundary has been exceeded.)
Example The following example shows instruction ASFT(17) used to shift words in an
11-word shift register created between DM 0100 and DM 0110 with a control
word value of #6000 (bits 13 and 14 ON). The data changes that would occur for
the given register and control word contents are also shown.
