The NORD-50 monitor is a subsystem in the SINTRAN operating system, supervising execution of NORD-50 programs.[1]
To use the monitor, it must have been loaded into SINTRAN as an RT program. The monitor is then started under SINTRAN by typing
@N-50
on a terminal connected to the system.
Main tasks[1] of the monitor are:
- loading programs from files into NORD-50 memory. These programs must have an executable format prepared by the NORD-50 loader. (:NOR5)
- starting the programs.
- reporting errors during program execution.
- examining the NORD-50 registers / memory after the programs have come to a stop (normal or abnormal stop).
