PREFACE
The DN8x-series remote station macros are an extra option
available to the customer who wishes to modify the DN8x
system software by adding special functions, such as polled
terminal handling, screen formatting, data field checking,
and input consolidation. The option itself consists of a
series of macro calls that allow programs added to the
system to communicate with the DN8x system software.
iv
PROGRAMMING CONVENTIONS
1.0 PROGRAMMING CONVENTIONS
___________ ___________
Tasks are installed by assembling them with the DN8x system.
Any number of tasks can be included in a DN8x system,
subject to the limitations of available core space.
The DN8x system is written with the assumption that any
added code is correct. Therefore, programming errors in an
added task can corrupt the system software. There is little
protection of DN8x code from errant tasks.
In addition, added tasks must:
o not change the processor priority level.
o not modify the trap and device interrupt vectors of
devices used by the DN8x system. (You can, however,
access other attached devices at will.)
Macro arguments can be in registers, in core, or immediate,
but the arguments can not be on a task's stack.
Macros perform their functions and return immediately to the
calling task unless BLOCKING is specified. Macro execution
does not modify the registers, memory, or stack, unless the
results are returned in the registers or in memory.
2.0 TASK SCHEDULING
____ __________
The DN8x system software provides four levels of task
priority. These levels are numbered 0 through 3, with 0
being the highest priority. The priority level of a user
task is specified by an argument in the TSKGEN macro call.
The DN8x system software maintains four task queues, one for
each priority level. The tasks in each queue are run in a
round robin. All tasks in a queue must be marked not
runnable before tasks in a lower priority level queue are
run.
The DN8x system software assigns each task a unit of run
time when the task is scheduled for execution. The unit of
run time is an assembly parameter whose name is TK.QTM. and
whose default value is 12 clock ticks or two-tenths of a
second. Once started a task runs to completion or until one
of the following conditions occurs:
o A HIBER or SLEEP macro is executed.
o A PUT macro, a GET macro, or an IMGPUT macro is
1
TASK SCHEDULING
executed in BLOCKING mode.
o A RECEIVE macro is executed in BLOCKING mode when
its message queue is empty.
o A user timeout occurs.
o An EXIT macro is executed.
o A higher priority task becomes executable.
When a task executes a HIBER macro, the task is marked not
runnable and remains in that state until some I/O activity
occurs for the task or until the time specified by the HIBER
macro has elapsed.
When a task executes a SLEEP macro, the task is marked not
runnable and remains in that state until the time specified
by the SLEEP macro has elapsed.
When a task executes a PUT macro, a GET macro, or an IMGPUT
macro in BLOCKING mode, the task is marked not runnable and
remains in that state until the operation has completed.
When a task executes a RECEIVE macro in BLOCKING mode and
the task message queue is empty, the task is marked not
runnable. When another task executes a SEND macro addressed
to the not runnable task, it is marked runnable, and will
resume execution when it reaches the top of its priority
queue.
If a task runs longer than its assigned run time, the task
is marked not runnable and placed at the end of its priority
queue. (This safeguard prevents loops in a user task from
locking out other tasks.)
When a task executes an EXIT macro, the task is marked not
runnable. The task will run again only if the DN8x system
is reloaded or restarted, or if another task executes a
TRIGER macro for the inactive task.
When the DN8x system is initialized, all tasks in the system
are marked runnable, beginning at the starting addresses
specified by their TSKGEN macros. Tasks that are started by
a TRIGER macro call also begin at their starting addresses.
When tasks are restarted after a power failure or other
system restart condition, the tasks begin at the restart
addresses specified by their TSKGEN macros.
2
TASK SCHEDULING
NOTE
The DN8X system software
reclaims all assigned buffer
space before performing the
task restart. Tasks cannot,
therefore, make references to
buffer space assigned to them
prior to restart.
3.0 CORE MANAGEMENT
____ __________
The DN8x system software provides buffer management services
for added tasks. These services are invoked with the CNKGET
and CNKFRE macros, which dynamically allocate and deallocate
buffer areas.
The buffers, called chunks, are fixed in length and are
specified at assembly time by the system parameter CNKSIZ.
Chunks not allocated to a task are stored on a linked list.
This linked list is generated during the system
initialization process and occupies all the free core space.
NOTE
The DN8x system software
reclaims all assigned buffers
before performing the task
restart. Tasks cannot,
therefore, make references to
buffer space assigned to them
prior to the system restart.
4.0 TASK CONTROL MACROS
____ _______ ______

__________ ______
6.1 HIBER Macro Call
_____ _____ ____
Function:
The HIBER macro call marks a task not runnable until a
specified period of time elapses, until I/O activity
occurs, or until another task issues a WAKE macro to
the not runnable task. The optional argument, if
present, specifies the elapsed time in clock ticks for
the task to be marked not runnable.
Command Format:
HIBER arg
arg (optional) The location containing the number
of clock ticks to wait before the task is

7.0 INTERTASK COMMUNICATION MACROS
_________ _____________ ______
The DN8x system provides intertask communication with the
SEND and RECEIVE macro calls. These two macro calls access
the message queue associated with each task. The length of
the message queue is a system assembly parameter whose name
is TKSQSZ and whose default value is 10 octal.
The SEND macro call places a 1-word message on the message
queue of the specified task, and then returns to the calling
task.
The RECEIVE macro call retrieves a 1-word message from the
message queue of the task that executes the macro. Messages
are retrieved from the queue in a first in, first out
sequence.
A form of task synchronization is provided by the BLOCKING
and NONBLOCKING options for the RECEIVE macro call. The
RECEIVE BLOCKING macro call marks the task not runnable when
the message queue is empty. The RECEIVE NONBLOCKING macro
call proceeds with task execution regardless of the message
queue status.
7.1 SEND Macro Call
____ _____ ____
Function:
The SEND macro call places a 1-word message into the
message queue of the receiving task.
If the receiving task is hibernating or has previously
executed a RECEIVE BLOCKING, the receiving task is
marked runnable.
If the SEND macro call is successful, the N bit in the
PS word is cleared. If the SEND macro call is
unsuccessful, the N bit in the PS word is set. A SEND
8
INTERTASK COMMUNICATION MACROS
macro call is unsuccessful if the receiving message
queue is full.
Command Format:
SEND name,adr
name The name of the receiving task as specified
by its TSKGEN macro.
adr The location of the 1-word message that will
be sent to the receiving task.
Examples:
SEND ODT,R0 ;send ODT the contents
;of register 0
BMI DIE ;go to DIE if SEND unsuccessful
SEND FOO,FOOBAR ;send FOO the contents of FOOBAR
BMI DIE
7.2 RECEIVE Macro Call
_______ _____ ____
Function:
The RECEIVE macro call extracts the first 1-word
message from the task message queue. If a message is
returned, the N bit in the PS word is cleared. If the
message queue is empty when the RECEIVE NONBLOCKING
macro call is executed, no message is returned and the
N bit in the PS word is set. If the RECEIVE BLOCKING
macro call is executed when the message queue is empty,
the task is marked not runnable. The task remains not
runnable until some other task puts a message into the
message queue of the receiving task, which marks the
task runnable.
Command Format:
RECEIVE adr,mode
adr The address where the 1-word message is
placed.
mode Either the word BLOCKING or the word
NONBLOCKING.
9
INTERTASK COMMUNICATION MACROS
Examples:
RECEIVE R4,NONBLOCKING ;test for a message
BPL WIN ;go to WIN if a message
;is received
8.0 CLOCK REFERENCE MACRO
_____ _________ _____
8.1 TIMER Macro Call
_____ _____ ____
Function:
The TIMER macro call places the 2-word system up-time,
measured in clock ticks, into the specified address and
address+2. Each clock tick represents 1/60 of a second
(1/50 of a second for 50 hertz power). The clock ticks
are derived from the DN8x system line frequency clock.
Command Format:
TIMER adr
adr The destination for the 2-word system
up-time.
Example:
TIMER TLOC ;put the up-time
;into TLOC and TLOC+2
9.0 TERMINAL I/O MACROS
________ ___ ______
The DN8x system includes five terminal I/O macros: OPEN,
RELEASE, PUT, GET, and IMGPUT. These macro calls enable the
user task to intercept and manipulate characters moving
between the terminals and the network host.
The OPEN macro call reserves a terminal for the exclusive
use of the calling task. When a task has exclusive use of a
terminal as an input device, characters from the terminal go
to the task rather than to the network host. When a task
has exclusive use of a terminal as an output device, no
other task can send characters to the terminal. Data paths
with and without exclusive terminal use are illustrated in
Figures 1 and 2. ;.fg21;.c Figure 1 Data Paths Without
10
TERMINAL I/O MACROS
Exclusive Use of Terminal
Figure 2 Data Paths With Exclusive Use of Terminal
The RELEASE macro call cancels the exclusive use of a
terminal. If no task has exclusive use of a terminal, any
task in the system can issue PUT and GET macro calls to the
terminal. The CTY is usually left free so that any task in
the system can send error messages.
The PUT macro call sends a single character to either the
network host or to a terminal.
The GET macro call requests a single character from either
the network host or from a terminal.
The IMGPUT macro call sends a character string to a
terminal.
The PUT, GET, and IMGPUT macro calls can be executed as
either BLOCKING or NONBLOCKING calls. BLOCKING macro calls
mark the calling task not runnable until the I/O operation
is complete. NONBLOCKING macro calls return immediately to
the calling task.
11
TERMINAL I/O MACROS
9.1 OPEN Macro Call
____ _____ ____
Function:
The OPEN macro call reserves a terminal keyboard or
printer for the exclusive use of the calling task.
When a task has exclusive use of a terminal, no other
task can access that terminal until the OPEN macro call
has been canceled by a RELEASE macro call.
If the OPEN macro call is successful, the N bit in the
PS word is cleared. If the OPEN macro call is
unsuccessful, the N bit in the PS word is set.
Command Format:
OPEN line,dev
line The octal physical line number of the
terminal or -1, indicating the CTY.
dev Either the word KEYBOARD or the word PRINTER.
Examples:
OPEN #2,PRINTER ;get exclusive use of a TTY's
printer
MOV #0,R5 ;load a line designator into
register 5
OPEN R5,KEYBOARD ;get exclusive use of the keyboard
attached to channel 0
NOTE
Two OPEN macro calls must
be used to obtain
exclusive use of both the
keyboard and the printer
on a given terminal: one
specifying KEYBOARD and
another specifying
PRINTER.
12
TERMINAL I/O MACROS
9.2 RELEASE Macro Call
_______ _____ ____
Function:
The RELEASE macro call cancels the exclusive use of a
terminal keyboard or printer by a task.
If the RELEASE macro call is successful, the N bit in
the PS word is cleared. If the RELEASE macro call is
unsuccessful, the N bit in the PS word is set.
Command Format:
RELEASE line,dev
line The octal physical line number of the
terminal or -1, indicating the CTY.
dev Either the word KEYBOARD or the word PRINTER.
Examples:
MOV #-1,R3 ;load the CTY designator
RELEASE R3,PRINTER ;release the CTY printer
RELEASE R3,KEYBOARD ;release the CTY keyboard
NOTE
Two RELEASE macro calls
must be used to
relinquish both the
keyboard and the printer
of a given terminal:
one specifying KEYBOARD
and another specifying
PRINTER.
9.3 PUT Macro Call
___ _____ ____
Function:
The PUT macro call sends a single character to a
terminal printer or to the network host. The terminal
printer is specified by the argument PRINTER; the
network host is specified by the argument KEYBOARD.
13
TERMINAL I/O MACROS
The PUT macro call can be either BLOCKING or
NONBLOCKING. The BLOCKING call marks the calling task
as not runnable until the operation is complete; the
NONBLOCKING call returns immediately to the calling
task.
If the PUT macro call is successful, the N bit in the
PS word is cleared. If the PUT macro call is
unsuccessful, the N bit in the PS word is set.
Command Format:
PUT line,dev,mode,adr
line The physical channel number of the terminal
or -1, indicating the CTY.
dev The word PRINTER, indicating the terminal, or
the word KEYBOARD, indicating the network
host, as the destination.

location
CLR R2 ;IDLOC on the CTY
PUT #2,PRINTER,NONBLOCKING,R4 ;print the char in reg 4
on line 0
BMI LOST ;go to LOST if
unsuccessful
9.4 GET Macro Call
___ _____ ____
Function:
The GET macro requests a single character either from a
terminal or from the network host. The terminal is
specified by the argument KEYBOARD; the network host
is specified by the argument PRINTER.
The GET macro call can be either BLOCKING or
NONBLOCKING. The BLOCKING call marks the calling task
14
TERMINAL I/O MACROS
not runnable until the operation is complete; the
NONBLOCKING call returns immediately to the calling
task.
If the GET macro call is successful, the N bit in the
PS word is cleared. If the GET macro call is
unsuccessful, the N bit in the PS word is set.
Command Format:
GET line,dev,mode,adr
line The physical octal channel number of the
terminal or -1, indicating the CTY.
dev The word KEYBOARD, indicating the terminal,
or the word PRINTER, indicating the network
host as a character source.

10.0 DM11-BB INTERFACE MACROS
_______ _________ ______
The DM11-BB is a 16-line modem control multiplexer for the
terminal lines on the DN8x system that provides an interface
to the Bell 103 and 202 type modems or their equivalents.
The DN8x system includes three macros that reference the
DM11-BB: GETBIT, SETBIT, and CLRBIT. These macro calls
enable a task to access and to manipulate control bits
within the DM11-BB LINE STATUS REGISTER.
The GETBIT macro call retrieves seven bits from the LINE
STATUS REGISTER, as well as other bits supplied by the DN8x
system (see Section 10.1 for the names and positions of the
status bits).
The SETBIT and CLRBIT macro calls set and clear the DATA
TERMINAL READY, REQUEST TO SEND, and SECONDARY TRANSMIT
status bits in the DM11-BB LINE STATUS REGISTER. These two
macro calls also return status information to the calling
16
DM11-BB INTERFACE MACROS
task.
10.1 GETBIT Macro Call
______ _____ ____
Function:
The GETBIT macro call retrieves seven bits from the
DM11-BB modem control LINE STATUS REGISTER and four
status bits from the DN8x system, and then stores the
bits into a specified location. The names of the
status bits and their bit positions within the word are
shown below:
BIT POSITION NAME OR FUNCTION
15 Set to 1 if either bit 8 or bit 9 is set
to 1.
14 Set to 0.
13 Set to 0.
12 Set to 0.
11 Set to 0.
10 Set to 0.
9 Set to 0 if the network host is alive
(DS.DIE and DS.DSC are both 0).
Otherwise, set to 1.
8 Set to 0 if the line is connected
(DS.CON is set to 1). Otherwise, set to
1.
7 RING bit from the LINE STATUS REGISTER.
6 CARRIER bit from the LINE STATUS
REGISTER.

line The octal physical line number.
adr The destination of the status bits.
Examples:
GETBIT R2,R1 ;place the status bits of the line
;specified in Register 2 into Register 1
10.2 SETBIT Macro Call
______ _____ ____
Function:
The SETBIT macro call selectively sets three status
bits in the DM11-BB LINE STATUS REGISTER. The bits set
are specified by placing a 1 in the corresponding bit
position of the mask argument in the macro call. The
bits set can be any combination of the DATA TERMINAL
READY, REQUEST TO SEND, and SECONDARY TRANSMIT bits
(see Section 10.1 for the names and positions of the
status bits).
The SETBIT macro call returns the DM11-BB status bits
as described in Section 10.1, GETBIT Macro Call.
Command Format:
SETBIT line,result,mask
line The octal physical line number.
result The location that contains the status bits
upon return.
mask The location that specifies the bits to be
set to 1.

SETBIT #1,R3,R2 ;for line 1
;and return the result in Register
3
10.3 CLRBIT Macro Call
______ _____ ____
Function:
The CLRBIT macro call selectively clears three status
bits in the DM11-BB LINE STATUS REGISTER. The bits
cleared are specified by placing a 1 in the
corresponding bit position of the mask argument in the
macro call. The bits cleared can be any combination of
the DATA TERMINAL READY, REQUEST TO SEND, and SECONDARY
TRANSMIT bits. (See Section 10.1 for the names and
positions of the status bits.) The CLRBIT macro call
returns the DM11-BB status bits as described in Section
10.1.
Command Format:
