Systems Reference Library - All about the IBM 1130 Computing ...

PrefaceThis manual is a reference source for IBM DataAcquisition and Control System users who requiredetailed knowledge of the functional and operationalcharacteristics of the system. The functional aspectsof the processor-controller and associated features,as well as all available process, data processing,and communications input/output features and devicesare described in detail. Operational characteristicsof these system features and components are describedin terms of program instructions, input/outputoperations, and processor-controller consolefunctions and displays.Method of PresentationThe features and devices of the 1800 system aredivided into four categories: (1) processor-controllerand associated features, (2) process input/outputdevices, (3) data processing input/output devices,and (4) communications input/output features ordevices. Following the introduction, the informationin this manual is presented according to the precedingfour categories.Because of frequent use, the instruction setsection of this manual is designed for easy access.Where possible, the description of each instructionin the instruction set is confined to a singlepage. Each page has a tab containing the mnemoniccode of the instruction described. The tab is locatedat the lower edge of the page. By glancing at thetabs, one can quickly locate any desired instruction.PrerequisitesThe user of this manual should have a basic knowledgeof stored program computer concepts. In addition,the user should have read the prerequisitepublication, IBM 1800 System Summary, Order No.GA26-5920.Suggested ReadingThe instruction set section of this manual containsexamples of assembler language coding. However, noattempt is made to explain all aspects of assemblerlanguage programming. Therefore, IBM 1800 AssemblerLanguage, Order No. GC26-5882, is suggestedreading.For other suggested reading material, refer tothe IBM 1800 Bibliography, Order No. GA26-5921.Ninth Edition (August, 1970)This is a major revision of, and makes obsolete, GA26-5918-7 and Technical NewslettersGN26-0255 and GN26-0260. The entire manual has been rewritten and reorganized forclarity. Technical changes to the text and to illustrations are indicated by a vertical lineto the left of the change. Nontechnical changes are not indicated by any special marking.Significant changes or additions to the specifications contained in this publication arecontinually being made. Before using this publication in connection with the operationof IBM equipment, check the latest SRL Newsletter for revisions or contact the localIBM Branch Office.The illustrations in this manual have a code number in the lower corner. This is apublishing control number and is not related to the subject matter.Copies of this and other IBM publications can be obtained through IBM Branch OffLes.A form for reader's comments is provided at the back of this publication.
