Directions for Laboratory Exercise 3

 Your report for this experiment must be submitted as both a Word file and printed
document.
 In the lab session, collect the information required to complete the lab exercise
and record all answers to questions in the lab manual.
 The final report must be in the format of the template provided below. You may
simply edit your experimental information into the document below by cutting
and pasting from the Word document in which you recorded your lab results in
the lab.
 Be sure to include titles and Step numbers for all information.
 Do just Parts 1 and 2 of the lab and the New Supplemental section (see changes
below)
 Use the “Mark” and “Copy” icon on the DEBUG toolbar to cut and paste the
commands and results into a temporary Word document.
1. Open a word document and minimize
2. Depress the “Mark” icon (leftmost icon on the DEBUG toolbar)
3. Highlight the debug statements that you want to save
4. Depress the “Copy” icon (2nd from left)
5. Open the Word document; click in at the appropriate line, and depress the
“Paste” icon.
6. Edit out extra lines, empty lines, and errors
7.
Note:
1. This lab uses the following DEBUG commands from the textbook.
a. Section 4.3 Pages 116-123: Register (R) commands
b. Section 4.4 Pages 123-133: Memory (D, E, F, etc.) commands
c. Section 4.7 Pages 136-142: Unassemble (U) command only
d. Section 4.8 Pages 142-144: Assemble (A) command
e. Section 4.9 Pages 145-147: Trace (T) command
f. Section 4.9 Pages 148-151: Go (G) command
g. Section 4.10 Pages 151-156: Debugging a program
2. You may need to reference the command syntax, register notation, and flag
notation in Figures 4.8, 4.10, and 4.11 in the textbook to assist in writing DEBUG
commands.
3. Be sure to cut and paste frequently. If you don’t, earlier commands and results
will scroll off the screen at the top and be lost. .
4. Files for this lab. You need to copy all of the files for Lab 3 (L3Px.xxx) from the
CD at the back of the lab book to a floppy diskette and bring this diskette to class
for use in performing the lab.

Part 1 (xxxTitlexxx)

1. The program in Fig A1.7 was designed to load in memory at address

CS:200 and must be modified to run at address CS:100. All you need
to do is change the JNZ 20EH instruction to JNZ 10EH

Conclusion for Part 2:

[Write a paragraph or more to describe the purpose of this part of the

experiment and make a list of what you have learned]

Interpretation of Results:

1. Make an electronic drawing showing how the arrays of information

are organized in memory. In this diagram, label the source and
destination arrays and the logical addresses at which each array starts
and ends.
- You can start with vertical lines representing the memory address
space similar to that on Page 3 of the lab manual (make them wider
apart and leave out the segment registers),
- Add horizontal lines to mark the beginning and ending boundaries of
the arrays of data
- Add text within the arrays to name them
- Label with addresses on the outside

[Make your drawing here]

Supplement: Program Redesign

1. Insert an unassembled copy of the program used in Part 2 here and

then edit out all of the address and machine code information.

[Original assembly language program]

2. Modify the program as follows:

(a) The size of the source and destination arrays is to be increased
to be 3 times as large.

7
 (b) The destination array is to be relocated to a starting address of
2000H:0200H
(c) Program is to copy the information from the source array to
destination array as individual words, not bytes.
(d) Insert a copy of the new program below.
(e) Identify in bold each of the changes you have made in the
program.

[New assembly language program]

3. Conduct an experiment to demonstrate that your program works

correctly.
- Enter different values of data into the source array
than were used in Parts 1 and 2 of the lab.
- Include the DEBUG sequences you used to assembly,
unassembled, initialize registers and/or memory, run
the program, and display results below (only when it
runs correctly).
- Repeat until the program runs correctly.
