The control memory consists of 32 bit commands. Each command is divided into six fields. A command layout diagram with the name of each field and position (bit number) is shown in Table B-1, followed by a definition of each command field in Table B-2.

Description |
I/O Groups Control |
These bits control the direction of the I/O bits 31-28 pin groups as described in the table I/O Groups Control Field . |
Reserved, bits 27-25 |
Reserved for future versions. Must be set to 0. |
Operation Code, bits 24-22 |
These bits provide the command code as described in the table Operation Code Field. |
Register, bits 21 and 20 |
Specifies the internal register used with either the related command or the external event line number (0-3) conditions (see Operation Code Field), as described in Register Field table. |
Condition, bits 19-17 |
This field is the condition code for the related commands and the tree address MSBs for the JUMP FAR command (see Sequencer Commands ). Condition codes are described in Condition Field table. |
Address, bits 16-0 |
This field contains the address for branch commands: JUMP, LOOP, GOTO and CALL. When the Operations Code is set to the SET command, this field (bits 0-15) is used as data to be assigned to a register. |
