    Abstract: This data acquisition and control system includes many features for enhancing real time response to external or internal conditions. One feature relates to the use of multiple processor control circuits which can be switched between active and inactive status for controlling the performance of processor operations as a function of the level of priority of received interrupt service requests. Another feature pertains to I/O devices attached to the processor. These I/O devices include means for retaining data dynamically allocable by the processor program for specifying assigned interrupt levels and/or for identifying the requisite servicing subroutine in the processor to permit rapid response when an interrupt service is granted. The devices monitor their own status and provide a summary bit to the processor identifying whether or not a status data interchange is required. Multiple masking allows the processor to select between masking all interrupts, interrupts from any source on one or more interrupt priority levels, interrupts from a particular device or devices, or any combination of these.

    Abstract: System mode controls for obtaining limited addressability for supervisor programming operations without disturbing a user address key currently contained in a user key register (UKR). The mode controls are provided by bits in a system register called a level status register (LSR), which include an APM bit, and a supervisor state bit. The largest supervisor addressability is obtained when both the APM and supervisor state bits are set on, which permits execution of a supervisor program which can access user data and programs. In more detail, each instruction fetch must be in the supervisor key area, identified by a predetermined supervisor key value which is not in the UKR, while each operand of the fetched supervisor instruction is accessed in the user key area identified by the current key in the UKR. The supervisor is not permitted to access any user area which does not have its key in the UKR. Thus, the supervisor can be prevented from having addressability over part or all of the main memory. However, if the APM bit is off while the supervisor bit is on, alI instruction and operand storage accesses can only be made in the supervisor key area, regardless of whether the supervisor key or user key is in the UKR. Hence no user area is accessible to the supervisor. But, if the supervisor bit is off, all instruction and operand accesses can only be made in the user area of the key in the UKR. Hence the supervisor programs cannot execute. BC9-76-011
