90
Multiple address monitor Monitors the status of up to 6 bits and words simultaneously. 91
Differentiation monitor Monitors ON-to-OFF or OFF-to-ON changes in the status of a particular bit. 92
Binary monitor Monitors the ON/OFF status of any words 16 bits. 92
Three-word monitor Monitors the status of three consecutive words. 93
Signed decimal monitor Converts the contents of the specified word from signed hexadecimal (twos
complement format) to signed decimal for display.
94
Unsigned decimal monitor Converts hexadecimal data in a word to unsigned decimal for display. 94
Three-word data modification Changes the contents of one or more of the 3 consecutive words displayed in
the Three-word Monitor operation.
95
