Abstract
At various stages during the running of a program it is necessary for the MPU to transmit information to or to receive information from a peripheral device of the type described in chapter 7. So far this operation has been covered in our programming by the SIMNIC instructions INP and OUT, but the warning was given that these two instructions were a convenient shorthand for what actually happens and that ‘one assembler-coded instruction for one machine-coded instruction’ did not apply to them. In this chapter we see what actually happens.
